Ingredients

Scale

For the Grilled Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: Chicken breasts are the lean protein base of this wrap, and they cook quickly on the grill.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil: For grilling the chicken and keeping it moist.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds savory depth to the chicken.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder: Enhances the flavor profile of the chicken.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika: Adds a smoky undertone to the chicken.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste, for seasoning the chicken.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice: Adds brightness to the chicken and helps tenderize it.

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard: The tangy base of the honey mustard sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons honey: Adds sweetness to balance the tang of the mustard.
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise: For creaminess and to bring everything together.
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar: Adds a touch of acidity to the sauce for balance.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste, for seasoning the sauce.

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas: Soft flour tortillas make for the perfect wrap base. You can also use whole wheat tortillas, gluten-free wraps, or spinach tortillas for variety.
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce: Romaine, iceberg, or mixed greens add freshness and crunch to the wraps.
  • 1 medium cucumber: Thinly sliced, for a refreshing crunch.
  • 1 medium tomato: Sliced into rounds for juiciness and flavor.
  • 1 ripe avocado: Sliced, for a creamy texture and richness.
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional): Cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack cheese add extra flavor and creaminess to the wrap.
  • Fresh cilantro (optional): A handful of chopped cilantro adds a burst of freshness and color.

Optional Garnishes:

  • Lime wedges: For a zesty finish to the wrap.
  • Chili flakes or hot sauce: For a spicy kick.
  • Pickled onions or jalapeños: For extra tang and heat.

Instructions

First Step: GRILL THE CHICKEN

  1. Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and rub the seasoning into the meat.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. The chicken should have a golden-brown exterior with grill marks for added flavor.
  3. Rest the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that the juices are redistributed within the chicken, keeping it moist and tender.
  4. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to layer into the wraps.

Second Step: MAKE THE HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor or more vinegar for extra tang.
  2. Set Aside: Set the sauce aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Third Step: PREPARE THE VEGETABLES AND TORTILLAS

  1. Slice the Vegetables: While the chicken is grilling and the sauce is resting, slice the cucumber, tomato, and avocado. Shred the lettuce if you haven’t done so already.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until they’re warm and slightly golden. This step helps make the tortillas more pliable and easier to fold.

Fourth Step: ASSEMBLE THE WRAPS

  1. Layer the Ingredients: Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Start by placing a generous amount of shredded lettuce in the center of the tortilla. Then, add a few slices of grilled chicken, followed by cucumber, tomato, and avocado slices. Sprinkle with cheese (if using) and add a little chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
  2. Drizzle with Honey Mustard Sauce: Spoon a generous amount of honey mustard sauce over the chicken and veggies. Make sure everything is evenly coated for the perfect balance of flavors.
  3. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom, making sure all the ingredients stay inside the wrap. You can use a toothpick to secure the wrap if needed.
  4. Repeat: Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Final Step: SERVE AND ENJOY

  1. Slice the Wraps: For a neat presentation and easier eating, slice each wrap in half at a slight angle.
  2. Serve: Arrange the wraps on a plate and garnish with additional cilantro, lime wedges, or chili flakes. You can also serve them with a side of baked sweet potato fries, a crisp salad, or some fresh fruit for a complete meal.
