Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

4 whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for dressing)

2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add in the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once ready, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

      Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Gently toss the ingredients together until mixed evenly.

        Create the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey (if using) until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the dressing, adjusting with additional salt and pepper as needed.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take each tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the Greek yogurt dressing across the center of each tortilla. Next, spoon in a hearty portion of the salad mixture, then layer with the sliced avocado and grilled chicken strips.

            Wrap and Serve: To wrap, fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to encase the filling. You may cut the wraps in half for easier handling if desired, and garnish each with freshly chopped cilantro.

              Enjoy: Serve these wraps immediately for the freshest taste, or wrap them in foil for a perfect meal you can take on the go!
