Ingredients
Scale
Spice Rub:
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Chicken:
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Southwest dressing
- Juice of 1 lime
Wraps:
- 4 burrito-sized tortillas (such as Siete Foods Cassava Flour Tortillas)
- 4 tablespoons Southwest dressing
- 2 large avocados, sliced
- 1 cup shredded goat cheddar cheese
- Tortilla chips (optional, such as Siete Foods Tortilla Chips)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all spice rub ingredients.
- Toss chicken tenders with avocado oil and the spice rub until evenly coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine red and green cabbage, red onion, cilantro, Southwest dressing, and lime juice. Toss until coated.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of Southwest dressing on each tortilla.
- Layer each with cabbage slaw, sliced avocado, cooked chicken, and shredded cheese.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly to form a wrap. Serve with tortilla chips if desired.
Notes
- For extra heat, add jalapeño slices or a drizzle of hot sauce before rolling.
- These wraps store well in foil for meal prep—just keep the slaw separate until ready to eat to prevent sogginess.
- Try grilled or rotisserie chicken as a shortcut.
- Make it dairy-free by omitting cheese or using a plant-based version.
