Ingredients
Chicken and Wrap Ingredients
- 600 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large whole-wheat tortillas
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Lime Dressing
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp honey
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, coat the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to build a flavorful crust.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it’s ready to cook the chicken perfectly without sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then slice it into strips for easy wrapping.
- Prepare Lime Dressing: Whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm the whole-wheat tortillas on the grill for softness and enhanced flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, layer chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, avocado, and grilled chicken strips evenly.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the lime yogurt dressing over the layered ingredients to add a fresh, tangy finish.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll tightly into wraps. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Add grilled bell peppers or zucchini for extra vegetables and texture.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the Greek yogurt in the dressing with mashed avocado or a plant-based yogurt.
- Prepare the chicken and chop vegetables ahead of time for convenient meal prep during busy days.
- Include a splash of your favorite hot sauce in the wrap or dressing for an extra kick of spice.
