- 1 Whole wheat tortillas
- 190 g Chicken breast
- 1 tsp Garlic-infused olive oil
- ¼ Lemon
- 60 g Spinach (optional)
- 40 g Carrot (optional)
- 50 g Zucchini (optional)
- 4 g Parsley (optional)
Method
- Open the chicken out into flat escalopes about a centimetre thick so it cooks through without drying. Grate the carrot, cut the courgette into thin coins and chop the parsley.
- Warm the garlic-infused oil in a pan over a medium-low flame and cook the chicken for eight minutes, turning once, until it is white through and still gives under a finger.
- Push the chicken to one side of the pan, drop in the courgette and carrot for two minutes, then add the spinach a handful at a time and let it collapse in the residual heat. Squeeze the lemon quarter over everything off the flame.
- While the spinach wilts down, warm the tortilla in a second pan over a low heat until it is supple — a cold wholewheat wrap cracks along the fold every time.
- Slice the chicken and lay it down the middle of the warm tortilla with the vegetables and whatever juices are left in the pan, scatter the parsley over and fold the sides in before rolling.
- Cut it in two and eat it while it is still warm.
