Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, diced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Hot sauce to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Mix chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the spice rub.
- Brush chicken with olive oil and coat with spice mix. Marinate for 30 minutes (optional).
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until internal temp reaches 165°F. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- Mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, and half the cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or on the grill until soft and pliable.
- Assemble wraps: Spread yogurt sauce on each tortilla, then layer sliced chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and remaining cilantro. Add hot sauce if desired.
- Fold and roll each wrap tightly. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Make it vegetarian by swapping chicken for grilled tofu or chickpeas. Use lettuce wraps for a lower-carb option. These wraps are great for meal prep—just store components separately and assemble when ready.
