Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon cumin

• ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Juice of ½ lemon

For the Wrap:

• 4 large tortillas or wraps

• 1 cup tomatoes (diced)

• ½ cup cucumber (sliced)

• ½ cup shredded cheese (optional)

• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or yogurt-based dressing

• 2 tablespoons ketchup or hot sauce (optional)

Before We Start

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies and tender chicken ensure the best flavor and texture.

• Season Well: Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes for extra flavor.

• Warm the Wraps: Slightly warm tortillas to make them pliable and easy to roll.

• Don’t Overfill: Overstuffing can make it hard to wrap properly.

• Seal the Wraps: Fold tightly and grill lightly for a crispy finish and sealed edges.

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce
Step 1: Take a small bowl, add mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until all ingredients are combined. Then, put it aside.

Chicken Preparation
Step 2: If using leftover cooked chicken, shred or dice it.
Step 3: If using fresh chicken, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil until golden and cooked through. Shred or dice when cool.

Assemble the Wraps
Step 4: Lay a tortilla (or any wrap) flat on a clean surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce evenly over the tortilla.
Step 5: Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and chicken in the center.

Wrap It Up
Step 6: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.

Toast (Optional)
Step 7: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the wrap on each side for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.

For fresh chicken, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, then cook them over medium heat in a skillet with a little oil until golden and thoroughly cooked. Once cooled, shred or dice the chicken.

Lay a tortilla on a clean surface and spread the prepared sauce evenly in the center. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and chicken in the middle, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top if you like. 

Wrap it by folding the sides of the tortilla inward and rolling it tightly from the bottom to the top. For an optional toasted finish, heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the wrap on each side for 1–2 minutes until it’s golden and slightly crispy.

Serve the wrap sliced in half if desired, with garlic sauce as a dip or your choice of side dish. That’s it!
