These grilled chicken wraps are a fresh, flavorful, and quick meal idea, perfect for lunch or dinner. Packed with juicy chicken, crisp lettuce, and a variety of vegetables, they are wrapped in soft tortillas for a delicious handheld treat.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

• 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
• 1 cup fresh lettuce leaves
• ½ cup diced tomatoes
• ½ cup sliced red bell peppers
• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• ¼ cup mayonnaise or ranch dressing
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Preparation Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
2. Coat the chicken breasts with the spice mix, ensuring even coverage.
3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 2: Prepare the Tortillas

1. Warm the tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
2. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or ranch dressing onto each tortilla. For an extra kick, mix in Dijon mustard.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay fresh lettuce leaves on each tortilla.
2. Add sliced chicken, followed by diced tomatoes, red bell peppers, and shredded cheese.
3. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor.

Step 4: Roll the Wraps

1. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll it tightly into a wrap.
2. Slice each wrap in half for easy serving.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the wraps with a side of sweet potato fries, chips, or a fresh salad.
• Add a dollop of your favorite dip, like guacamole or hummus, for extra flavor.

Tips for Perfect Wraps:

1. Marinate for Extra Flavor: If you have time, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Use Variations: Swap the chicken for grilled shrimp, tofu, or falafel for a unique twist.
3. Make Ahead: Wraps can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
