01
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 420°F (215°C). While it heats up, blend together parsley, cilantro paste, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Pop the chimichurri sauce in the fridge to chill while you prepare the chicken.

Step 2
Next, rub the tenderloins with adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides. Place them on a baking sheet and cook in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside—this should take about 25 minutes.

Step 3
While the chicken is finishing up, warm some olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Toss in the onions and bell peppers, season with a little salt and pepper, then cover and cook, stirring every now and then, until the vegetables are nice and tender—about 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat.

Step 4
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes so it cools slightly. Slice up your avocado and grab the chimichurri sauce from the fridge. Shred or chop the chicken using two forks, then mix it with the chimichurri until everything is nicely coated.

Step 5
Finally, spread the chicken mixture onto spinach tortillas, add the sautéed veggies and avocado slices, wrap them up, slice in half, and dig in!
Why you’ll love it
These wraps are full of fresh, vibrant flavors thanks to the zesty chimichurri sauce. They are quick to make and perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner. The combination of juicy chicken and herbaceous sauce wrapped in a soft tortilla is both satisfying and delicious.
How to serve
Serve with a side of crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. Adding some avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt can also complement the flavors well. These wraps work great with a cold beverage like iced tea or a light beer.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover chicken and chimichurri separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep tortillas wrapped in foil or plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Reheat the chicken gently to maintain juiciness before assembling new wraps.
