Ingredients

• For the Chicken:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the Chipotle Mayo:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste
• For the Wrap:
  • 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

Preparation Time

• Preparation Time: 15 minutes
• Marination Time: 30 minutes (or up to overnight)
• Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
• Total Time: Approximately 1 hour

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Begin by preparing the chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For more flavor, consider marinating overnight.

Step 2: Prepare the Chipotle Mayo

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the chipotle mayo. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice. Mix until smooth, then taste and season with salt as needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer on chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheese, and slices of the grilled chicken. Drizzle generously with the chipotle mayo.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll from the bottom up to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Optional Additions

• Avocado: Sliced avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats.
• Black Beans: Add protein and fiber by incorporating black beans.
• Jalapeños: Fresh or pickled for extra heat!
• Cilantro: Add fresh cilantro leaves for an herby kick.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these delicious wraps with a side of your favorite chips or a light salad. They pair wonderfully with a refreshing drink like iced tea or a light beer. For a spicy side, consider serving with pickled vegetables or a tangy coleslaw.

Storage Instructions

If you have any leftovers, store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, unwrap the foil and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat on a skillet over medium heat until warmed.

FAQs

Can I use a different protein instead of chicken?

Absolutely! This recipe works well with turkey, tofu, or even shrimp. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly for different proteins.

How spicy is the chipotle mayo?

The heat level of the chipotle mayo can be adjusted by using fewer chipotle peppers or opting for milder varieties. If you’re concerned about spice, start with one pepper and taste before adding more.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can pre-grill the chicken and prepare the chipotle mayo ahead of time. Just assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat. However, it’s best to wrap them just before serving to maintain the tortilla’s freshness.

What sides can I serve with these wraps?

These wraps pair nicely with various sides, such as fresh fruit, corn on the cob, potato salad, or a crisp green salad. You can choose sides that match the flavor profile you prefer.
