Servings: 6 Wraps
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup liquid aminos*
- ¼ cup tequila
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- In a small blender, add the first 7 ingredients and blend until completely smooth and well-incorporated.
- Place the raw chicken in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade into it. Seal the ziplock and place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
- Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook until edges are firm, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Flip to the other side and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is firm when poked and is cooked through (Internal temperature should be about 165 degrees F).
- Once cooked, place the chicken pieces on a cutting board and cut into strips.
Make the Wraps:
- Heat the refried black beans and salsa con queso in separate pots on the stove until they’re both hot.
- Heat the tortillas in the microwave or oven.
- Load up your tortillas with desired amount of refried black beans, lettuce, red bell pepper, red onion, avocado, grilled chicken, and salsa con queso. Wrap like a burrito and enjoy!
Notes
*You can replace liquid aminos with low-sodium soy sauce. If you choose to do so, don't add any salt to the marinade, as the soy sauce will be saltier than the liquid aminos
**You can use regular flour tortillas or gluten-free tortillas of choice.
