Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens (optional)
  • Sliced tomatoes (optional)
  • Sliced cucumbers (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat them well. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes but preferably for a few hours in the refrigerator.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Once heated, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden-brown color.
  3. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into strips.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
  2. Spread a generous amount of the garlic sauce across the center of each tortilla.
  3. Layer the cooked chicken strips on top of the sauce, followed by the shredded cheese and any additional vegetables you desire.
  4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.

Step 5: Serve

  • Cut the wraps in half, if desired, and serve immediately with extra garlic sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips and Variations

  • Add Spice: Incorporate jalapeños or hot sauce to add some heat.
  • Switch Up Proteins: Substitute chicken for turkey or roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
  • Extra Flavor: Grill or toast the wraps on a skillet after assembling for a crispy texture.
