Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 320 g total.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 large flour tortillas Burrito size, about 25 cm diameter.
  • 2 cups shredded Romaine lettuce About 100 g.
  • 1 medium tomato, diced About 120 g.
  • 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced About 35 g.
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese About 60 g.
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise About 60 g.
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt About 30 g.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Equipment

  • 1 grill pan or skillet
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub them all over with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Grill the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through (juices run clear and internal temp is 74°C/165°F). Transfer to a plate and rest for 3 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, mix together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Slice the rested chicken into thin strips.
  6. Warm the tortillas briefly in a clean pan or in the microwave until just flexible.
  7. Lay out each tortilla. Spread 1 tablespoon of the dressing onto each wrap. Top each with 0.5 cup lettuce, 1/4 of the tomato, some sliced red onion, 1/4 of the chicken, and 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap.
  9. Slice the wraps in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.

Notes

You can swap in whole wheat tortillas or spinach wraps for added fiber or flavor.
Feel free to add extras like avocado, cucumber, or bell peppers.
For a spicier kick, add a little hot sauce or chili flakes to the dressing.
The wraps can be made ahead and wrapped tightly in foil for lunchboxes.
