Spice Rubbed Chicken Tortillas with Mango Salsa


Ingredients

1½ Tbsp brown sugar 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground ginger ½ tsp coarse salt ½ tsp ground red pepper 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 oz each) 2 tsp olive oil

2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced 1 lg red onion, halved and thinly sliced ¼ c coarsely chopped cilantro + additional for garnish 4 whole wheat tortillas (10" diameter) ½ c mango salsa or chutney

Directions


1. In small bowl, combine sugar, cumin, ginger, salt, and ground red pepper. Coat both sides of chicken with spice rub. Set aside.

2. Line baking sheet with foil, and preheat broiler.

3. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion (make sure to clean them first...gotta love the EatCleaner products for this!), and cook until vegetables are soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro, and cover skillet to keep vegetables warm.

4. Broil chicken about 6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160 degrees F and juices run clear. Let chicken cool slightly before cutting into ½"-thick slices.

5. Heat tortillas by placing each one in large dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side or until heated through.

6. To serve, spoon a portion of vegetables down the center of each tortilla. Arrange chicken slices over vegetables, and roll up. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mango salsa over each tortilla. Garnish with cilantro.

Makes 4 Servings (1 tortilla, 1 chicken breast, 3/4 cup of vegetables, and 2 tablespoons of salsa)
