The ultimate low-carb fast dinner or brown bag lunch. We used swiss cheese instead of flour tortillas to make it low carbohydrate, but  muenster  and mozzarella  also worked well! it is spicy and filling, and it satisfies the craving for Mexican food! 

Ingredients: (four servings)

2 chicken breasts
1 Tbls Mexican Taco seasoning
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup shredded Jack cheese

Hot sauce to taste
Queso sauce to taste

Rub the chicken breasts with the taco seasoning . Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat heavy pan or a cast iron skillet
Cook the chicken till slightly blackened but still moist in the center( about 3 minutes per side). Cut into 1/2 inch strips and add hot sauce if desired to taste.
To assemble the wraps: place a slice of cheese on a flat surface, spread lettuce in the lowest half about 3/4 of the way down. Place the chicken strips on top and sprinkle with the shredded Jack; be careful to not overstuff. Fold the low portion up, tighten as much as you can, then continue rolling the rest. Cut it in half on a diagonal and serve with more hot sauce or Queso.

If you need to pack for a brown bag lunch: place the cheese on parchment paper or aluminum foil and follow the directions indicated above, then fold paper or foil over finished wrap.  Enjoy!
