Chicken Wraps

Chicken wraps remind me of a busy weekday when I needed something quick but flavorful because I didn’t want to settle for a boring sandwich. I grilled some chicken, added fresh veggies, and wrapped everything in a soft tortilla. The first bite was juicy, crunchy, and perfectly satisfying.

Since then, I’ve made this recipe countless times because it’s versatile, healthy, and easy to customize. Whether for lunch, dinner, or on the go, these wraps always hit the spot with their fresh flavors and delicious textures.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Chicken breast – The main protein, grilled for a smoky flavor
• Tortillas – Soft wraps that hold all the fillings together
• Lettuce – Adds crunch and freshness
• Tomatoes – Juicy and vibrant, balancing the savory chicken
• Cheese – Melts slightly and adds richness
• Mayonnaise or ranch – Creamy dressing to tie all flavors together
• Olive oil – For grilling the chicken perfectly
• Salt and pepper – Basic seasoning for enhancing flavor
• Tools You’ll Need
• Grill pan or skillet – To cook the chicken with nice char marks
• Mixing bowl – For tossing chicken with oil and seasoning
• Knife – To slice chicken and vegetables neatly
• Cutting board – For safe preparation
• Tongs – To handle chicken while grilling
• Plate – To assemble the wraps easily

Instructions

Step 1

I start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Step 2

I heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes per side until fully cooked.

Step 3

While the chicken rests, I slice the lettuce and tomatoes to prepare the fresh toppings.

Step 4

I slice the grilled chicken into thin strips so it fits nicely into the wraps.

Step 5

I lay out the tortillas, spread a bit of mayonnaise or ranch, and layer with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and chicken strips.

Step 6

I fold the sides and roll them tightly into wraps.

Step 7

I serve them as is or lightly grill the wraps to warm them through.

Tips

I sometimes add avocado slices or crispy bacon for extra flavor. For a spicier version, I use chipotle mayo or add jalapeños. You can also swap the chicken for turkey or shrimp to mix things up.

Ways to Serve

These wraps are perfect for lunch with a side salad or chips. I also love serving them sliced into halves for party platters or as a quick grab-and-go dinner.
