Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Marinate and Grill the Chicken
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, cumin, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring an even distribution of seasoning.
- Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 2: Prepare the Wraps
- Warm the tortillas on a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, or hummus on each tortilla.
- Add lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and shredded cheese as the base.
- Layer the sliced grilled chicken over the vegetables.
Step 3: Wrap and Grill
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
- Place the wrap back onto the heated pan and grill for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately.
- Pair with a fresh side salad, roasted potatoes, or a dipping sauce like ranch, garlic yogurt sauce, or spicy mayo.
- Enjoy the perfect balance of crunch, creaminess, and smokiness!
