Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cumin (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Wrap:

  • 1 large whole wheat or flour tortilla
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt ranch or hummus
  • 1 tbsp sliced red onions (optional)
  • ½ tsp seasoning mix (paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper)

Instructions:

Step 1: Grill the Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
  2. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken breast.
  3. Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  4. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 2: Assemble the Wrap

  1. Warm the tortilla in a dry pan for 10-15 seconds to make it more pliable.
  2. Lay the tortilla flat and spread the Greek yogurt ranch or hummus.
  3. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced grilled chicken.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheese and red onions (if using).

Step 3: Wrap & Serve

  1. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the ingredients.
  2. Slice in half diagonally for the best presentation.
  3. Serve immediately with a side of fresh fruit, baked sweet potato fries, or a light salad.
