Chicken-Spinach Wraps

This a great recipe for a quick lunch, but can also make a great main dish served with some salad and guacamole. It is really easy to make and kids love it, you can leave the sour cream out if you wish. You can also use normal flour tortillas or corn ones.
For the kids I usually cut them in little sushi-like pieces after rolling them (this works great as party snacks too!)






Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 chicken breasts cubed
  • 1 tablespoon thyme and basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 whole grain tortillas
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
  • 1 can brown beans, drained
  • 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. 
  2. Combine the salt, pepper, thyme, and basil in a bowl and season the chicken with the mixture. Add season chicken to hot oil and heat until cooked through.
  3. Add the beans, spinach and tomatoes to the chicken.
  4. Stir in the cream and allow it to cook for a few minutes.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or pan and then carefully fill the shell with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  6. Roll the tortillas and serve.
