Ever notice the healthiest meals are the easiest to prepare and the fresher the better which is why this is a classic meal I eat all the time? I use frozen chicken tenderloins that I grab whenever necessary right out of the refrigerator. There’s no need to defrost them. They cook up so easily. I grill them which is not just quick but the flavor is awesome and the fat pretty much drips away. While they’re cooking I throw some cherry tomatoes in a food processor along with some garlic cloves that I have already peeled in an air tight container. I always have some kind of hot pepper chilling and cilantro is a must in my house. Add a little red wine vinegar and I have a fresh salsa I can douse on any salad to give it flavor. It’s my go-to meal and when I need to cut the carbs I leave off the spinach wrap and throw this over a mixed green salad. Fresh is always best and sooooo easy!

Ever notice the healthiest meals are the easiest to prepare and the fresher the better which is why this is a classic meal I eat …
Ingredients
- 6 chicken tenderloins seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder
- 6 spinach tortilla wraps
- 1 lb. cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion quartered
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 serrano peppers
- 1/4 cup cilantro or less
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded (optional)
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt mixed with 3 T. fresh lime juice
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves or mixed greens
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 500 degrees. Grill your seasoned chicken tenderloins. About 3 minutes each side or til internal temperature is 160 degrees.
- In a food processor combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, peppers, and vinegar. Pulse for a rough chop or puree for a thinner consistency. Add the cilantro at the end and pulse for a rough chop. I find too much mixing gives it a very sharp cilantro flavor.
- Place your chicken on a bed of spinach on top of the spinach wrap. Top with a generous portion of salsa, cheese and greek yogurt.
