Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Wrap Components
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch or chipotle mayo (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Season: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to infuse flavor.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This ensures juicy, tender chicken. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable for wrapping. This can be done on the grill for a few seconds or in a microwave for a short burst.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each warm tortilla flat. If using, spread ranch or chipotle mayo evenly over the tortilla to add creaminess and flavor.
- Layer Ingredients: Begin layering the wrap by adding shredded lettuce, then arrange thin slices of grilled chicken, followed by avocado slices, diced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded cheese for a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately to enjoy at their freshest.
Notes
- For meal prep, omit avocado during assembly and add just before serving to prevent browning.
- Add crispy bacon strips for an extra savory twist.
- Substitute spinach for lettuce to boost the nutritional content.
