Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. In a small blender, add the first 7 ingredients and blend until completely smooth and well-incorporated.
  2. Place the raw chicken in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade into it. Seal the ziplock and place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
  3. Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook until edges are firm, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Flip to the other side and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is firm when poked and is cooked through (Internal temperature should be about 165 degrees F).
  5. Once cooked, place the chicken pieces on a cutting board and cut into strips.

Make the Wraps:

  1. Heat the refried black beans and salsa con queso in separate pots on the stove until they’re both hot.
  2. Heat the tortillas in the microwave or oven.
  3. Load up your tortillas with desired amount of refried black beans, lettuce, red bell pepper, red onion, avocado, grilled chicken, and salsa con queso. Wrap like a burrito and enjoy!

Notes

  • *You can replace liquid aminos with low-sodium soy sauce. If you choose to do so, don't add any salt to the marinade, as the soy sauce will be saltier than the liquid aminos **You can use regular flour tortillas or gluten-free tortillas of choice.
