Ingredients

  • 6 low-carb wraps (I use Mission Low Carb Wraps)
  • 500 g chicken tenderloins
  • 2 tbsp garlic oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • Shredded tasty cheese (to serve)
  • 200 g Greek yoghurt (full fat)
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1 tin Black beans or kidney beans
  • 1 avocado
  • 75 g frozen corn
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander (optional)
  • 1 tomato
  • cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Cajun spice
  • salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. SALSA: Wash the tomato and dice into small pieces and add to a serving bowl. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and dice into small pieces before adding it to the tomato in the bowl. Heat 75 g of frozen corn in the microwave for approximately 25-30 seconds and add to the bowl of other ingredients. Remove beans from the tin and drain using a sieve before adding to the bowl. Wash the coriander and chop finely, adding this to the bowl along with some cracked black pepper to taste. Lastly, juice the lime and drizzle over the other ingredients before mixing well using a spoon. Set aside. 

  2. YOGHURT CONDIMENT: Spoon the yoghurt into a small serving bowl, add the Cajun spice and salt to taste. Mix well using a spoon. 

  3. CHICKEN: Preheat a frying pan on the stove. Remove chicken from the packet and trim away any excess fat. Place chicken in a bowl and add the garlic oil and smoked paprika. Mix well to ensure chicken is well coated. Add the chicken to the pan and fry for approximately 4 minutes on each side on medium heat. Once cooked, turn off the heat.

  4. WRAPS: To assemble the wraps, place one wrap on a plate, add 2 tbsp of the salsa onto the wrap, add two pieces of the chicken, spoon over 2 tbsp of the yoghurt and sprinkle over a handful of cheese. Roll up the wrap into a cylinder and enjoy!
