→ Wrap Assembly
16 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches diameter)
17 - 2 cups mixed salad greens including arugula, baby spinach, or romaine
18 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
19 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
20 - 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
21 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon zest and juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Add 3 tablespoons of chimichurri sauce and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Turn to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for minimum 20 minutes up to 2 hours.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, reaching internal temperature of 165°F. Allow to rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
04 - Warm tortillas lightly. Spread 1 spoonful of chimichurri sauce down center of each tortilla. Layer with salad greens, cucumber, tomato, red onion, sliced chicken, and avocado if using. Drizzle with additional chimichurri sauce.
05 - Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to create a secure wrap. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.
