Makes 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 small ripe, slightly soft mango, peeled and pitted

1 cup Greek yogurt

¼ teaspoon cumin

Pinch cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups large chicken breasts, precooked and sliced, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro

1 small ripe, slightly soft mango, peeled, pitted and cubed

4 large flour tortillas

Instructions:

For the sauce:

Place the mango, yogurt, cumin and cayenne in a blender and blend together well. Add 1 tablespoon water to thin the mixture if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To prepare the wrap filling:

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, salt, lime juice and olive oil. Pour over chicken and lettuce in a large bowl. Fold in the cilantro and mango.

To finish the wrap:

Place the tortilla on a clear work space. Spread 1 tablespoon sauce over the wrap. Next, scoop ½ to ¾ cup of the mango chicken salad in the center, fold up both sides and roll up. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with baked chips. Turn leftovers into a quesadilla by adding your favorite cheese and melting, or serve as a simple salad without tortillas.
