Spicy Chicken and Whole Grain Wrap for Muscle Growth

Instructions

1. Gear Up for Spicy Gains: Gather your tools—a skillet, a spatula, a cutting board, a knife, and a small bowl. This wrap’s about to fire up your post-workout recovery, so let’s get everything ready for a quick and tasty muscle-building meal!
2. Season the Chicken: Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels—dry meat cooks better! Sprinkle both sides with 1 teaspoon each of chili powder and cumin, plus a good pinch of salt and pepper. Rub it in with your hands—these spicy beauties are ready to bring the heat!
3. Heat the Skillet: Set your skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let it heat until it shimmers—this is where your chicken’s going to sizzle into juicy, flavorful perfection, packing that protein punch for your bulking goals!
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F inside)—don’t overdo it, you want them juicy! That spicy crust is locking in all the goodness for your muscles!
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes—cover loosely with foil if you like. This keeps the juices in, making every slice tender and ready to star in your wrap—patience pays off here!
6. Slice the Veggies: While the chicken rests, dice your red bell pepper into small, thin pieces—½ cup worth. Grab your spinach and give it a rough chop if the leaves are big—these crisp, colorful bites are bringing nutrients and crunch to your muscle fuel!
7. Mix the Yogurt Spread: In a small bowl, stir together ⅓ cup Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon lime juice with a pinch of salt. Mix it until smooth—this creamy, zesty spread is going to cool the spice and add a protein boost to your wrap!
8. Warm the Tortillas: Take your 2 whole-grain tortillas and warm them up—microwave them in a damp paper towel for 20-30 seconds or heat in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side. Soft, pliable tortillas make wrapping a breeze and elevate the whole experience!
9. Assemble the Wrap: Lay one warm tortilla flat on a plate. Spread half the yogurt mix down the center, then layer on half the spinach and bell pepper. Slice one chicken breast into thin strips and pile it on top—repeat with the second tortilla. Your wrap’s loaded and ready!
10. Roll and Recharge: Fold the bottom of each tortilla up, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly into a wrap—keep it snug so all that goodness stays in! Take a big bite and savor the spicy chicken, crisp veggies, and creamy yogurt—it’s post-workout fuel that builds muscle and tastes amazing. Enjoy every gain-boosting bite!
