Treat yourself to a fresh, vibrant dish that perfectly balances the heartiness of chicken with the peppery flavor of arugula - a delightful twist for your dinner tonight!

1

Begin by preparing the chicken. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. While the oil heats, season your 2 pounds of chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.

2

Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

3

While the chicken cooks, finely chop 2 cloves of garlic. When the chicken is nearly done, add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for the last 2 minutes.

4

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, 4 cups of arugula, and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated.

6

Warm the tortillas in a clean skillet over low heat for about 1 minute on each side.

7

Assemble your tortilla by placing the chicken and arugula mixture in the middle of each tortilla. Top off with 1 cup of cheese and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.

8

Fold the tortillas and serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges for an extra zing.

• Choosing a good-quality cheese will enhance the flavor of your tortilla.
