What you’ll need?
- Chicken breast– Boneless chicken breast cut into thin fillets. Chicken breast is lean meat and also cooks faster. If you are short of time you can also use store-bought rotisserie chicken.
- Seasoning– Basic dry rub for the chicken breast. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil.
- Tortilla – You could use flour tortilla, corn, wheat or even flatbread. You can also use low-carb tortillas.
- Veggies – lettuce like Romanian or butterhead lettuce. You can add red bell pepper, and avocados as well.
- Cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella would also work.
- Sauce– Spicy mayo dressing creamy, spicy, sweet and slightly tangy. You need Mayo, Ketchup, Sriracha and lemon juice. You can also use Ranch dressing or any other creamy dressing instead.
How To Make Grilled Chicken Wrap?
Begin with marinating Chicken breast in the dry rub seasoning. If the breast is too thick, flatten it to uniform thickness before marinating.
Grill chicken on a griddled pan on both sides. Cover and rest for 10 mins. When it has cooled down completely, chop it into small cubes or into slices.
Try my buttermilk marinated Grilled Chicken breast recipe as an alternative for the chicken filling.
While the chicken is resting, make the dressing by mixing mayo, tomato ketchup and sriracha.
Time to roll the wraps. Top it with lettuce, peppers, grilled chicken, and drizzle generously with mayo dressing. Sprinkle cheese and fold the tortillas.
Fold 1 to 2 inches (from the left and right side) inwards. Then roll the bottom over the filling. Start rolling the wrap over the filling, pushing the filling inwards as you roll.
Assembling Chicken Wrap
Place tortilla wrap. Top it with lettuce wrap, followed by chicken, bell pepper. Drizzle some mayo sauce and top it with shredded cheese.
Seal the tortilla on both the side and tightly roll it to warp.
Cook both sides of the wrap on a hot grill pan.
Wrap a piece of foil and serve.
Storage and Prep Ahead
You can store the wrap individually wrapped in foil. Keep it in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
To store the wraps, here are a few points to take care of.
- Make sure that the chicken is cooled down completely before adding it to the wrap. Else the juices from the grilled chicken will make the wrap soggy.
- The lettuce should be dry. In case there are water droplets, pat it dry with a kitchen towel.
- if storing the wraps, make sure they are completely cooled down, else it will steam, in turn, make the wrap soggy.
