Ingredients

boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
300 g
whole wheat flour
2 cup
rice
1 cup
onion, chopped
1
tomatoes, chopped
2
lettuce, shredded
1 cup
cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp
butter
1 tbsp
cumin seeds
1 tsp
Italian seasoning
1 tsp
chili powder
1 tsp
salt
1 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the rice: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Cook for 20 to 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the rice. Add water, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and fluffy. Set aside.

Make the whole wheat wraps: combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and enough water to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth, divide into portions, and roll each one into a thin round. Cook on a hot dry skillet until lightly browned on both sides, then keep covered so the wraps stay soft.

Cook the filling: saute the onion until softened, then add the chicken and cook until it starts to lose its raw color. Stir in the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, chili powder, and salt. Cover and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the mixture is thick. Stir in chopped cilantro at the end. If you like, add cooked beans for extra texture and protein.
