A quick and easy recipe for crispy tortilla wraps filled with juicy grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and fresh veggies. Perfect for lunches, dinners, or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340 g), sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Optional extras: fresh cilantro leaves, jalapeño slices, hot sauce or salsa for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Prepare the fillings: Slice avocado and tomato, shred lettuce, and mix mayonnaise with lime juice in a small bowl.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices in a single layer and cook 3-4 minutes per side until charred and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Remove and set aside.
  4. Crisp the tortillas: Wipe skillet clean or use a separate non-stick pan. Cook each tortilla over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Spread about 1 tablespoon of lime mayo on each crispy tortilla. Layer shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled chicken, avocado, and cheese if using. Add cilantro or jalapeños if desired.
  6. Fold and serve: Fold sides of tortilla in and roll tightly. For extra crispness, place assembled wrap back on hot skillet for 1 minute per side, pressing gently. Serve immediately with hot sauce or salsa.

Notes

Pound chicken slices to 1/2 inch thickness for even cooking. Keep skillet at medium heat to avoid burning tortillas. Spread mayo on tortilla first to prevent sogginess. Reheat leftovers in a dry skillet to restore crispiness.
