Step 2. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tips

  • ·

    For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese and pitted kalamata olives to the wrap.

  • ·

    To prevent the wrap from becoming soggy, dry your lettuce and cucumbers thoroughly after washing.

  • ·

    Meal prep tip: Grill the chicken and chop the veggies ahead of time, but wait to assemble and add the sauce until right before eating.

  • ·

    If you don't have tzatziki, a mixture of Greek yogurt, garlic, and dill makes an excellent substitute.

? FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs work beautifully and are often more juicy, though they may take 1-2 minutes longer to cook.
How do I keep the wraps from falling apart?
Warming the tortilla is key to flexibility. Also, be careful not to overfill; leaving an inch of space at the edges helps create a tighter seal.
Are these wraps good for cold lunches?
Absolutely! These wraps taste great even when the chicken is cold, making them perfect for school or office lunches.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, simply swap the flour tortillas for your favorite gluten-free wrap or use large collard green leaves for a low-carb, GF option.
