Grilled Chicken Wrap

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole wheat or flour tortillas

1 cup lettuce, shredded

1 tomato, sliced

½ cucumber, sliced

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

For the chipotle mayo:

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce (from a can)

1 teaspoon lime juice

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt to taste

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

I preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

While the chicken cooks, I mix the mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl to make the chipotle mayo. I adjust the seasoning to taste.

Once the chicken is cooked, I remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

To assemble the wrap, I place a tortilla on a flat surface and layer it with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

I add the grilled chicken strips on top and drizzle with the homemade chipotle mayo.

I roll up the tortilla tightly and cut it in half.

Variations

Add more veggies: I sometimes add avocado, bell peppers, or shredded carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.

Use a different protein: Instead of chicken, I’ve swapped in grilled shrimp, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.

Adjust spice level: If I want it milder, I use less chipotle in the mayo or add a little honey to balance out the heat.

Wrap it differently: Sometimes I like to use a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla for a lighter, low-carb option.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store the wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep the wraps fresh, I prefer to store the veggies, chicken, and chipotle mayo separately from the tortilla and assemble the wraps just before eating.

When reheating, I recommend warming the chicken gently in the microwave or on a skillet. I find that the tortilla can become a bit soggy if it’s reheated after being wrapped for too long, so it’s best to reassemble the wrap just before enjoying it.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of mayo for the chipotle mayo?

Yes! I sometimes use Greek yogurt or avocado as a base for the chipotle mayo if I’m looking for a lighter or dairy-free option.

Can I make the chipotle mayo in advance?

Absolutely! I often make the chipotle mayo ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a week. It actually gets better as the flavors meld together.

How can I make the chicken more flavorful?

I like marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs before grilling for extra flavor.

Can I freeze the grilled chicken?

Yes, you can freeze the grilled chicken after cooking. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in a freezer-safe bag. It should last up to 3 months in the freezer.

What’s a good side dish to serve with these wraps?

I enjoy pairing these wraps with a simple side of roasted sweet potatoes, a green salad, or even some crispy baked fries for a more indulgent meal.

Conclusion

This Grilled Chicken Wrap is a flavorful, easy-to-make meal that’s perfect for a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner. The combination of tender, smoky chicken, fresh veggies, and spicy chipotle mayo is truly irresistible. I love how customizable it is too, depending on my mood or what I have in the fridge. Whether you're making it for yourself or preparing it for a group, this wrap is sure to be a hit!
