Spicy Grilled Chicken Wraps with Chipotle Mayo Delight

by
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat) - 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese - 1 avocado, sliced For the wraps, you need chicken and some tasty spices. The tortillas hold all the goodness. You can pick flour or whole wheat, depending on your taste. Fresh veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and avocado add crunch and flavor. - 1/2 cup mayonnaise - 1-2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (adjust to taste) - 1 teaspoon lime juice - Salt to taste The chipotle mayo brings a spicy kick. You mix mayonnaise with chipotle sauce for heat. A splash of lime juice adds a bright twist. Adjust the chipotle amount to get your perfect spice level. Each serving has about 400 calories. You get around 30 grams of protein and 20 grams of fat. This meal is filling and packed with nutrients. Enjoying wraps can fit well into a balanced diet. To start, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. This step is key for that perfect char on your chicken. While the grill heats, mix the spices. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mix all over the chicken breasts. Once your grill is ready, place the chicken on it. Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). After cooking, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting time helps keep the chicken juicy. Slice the chicken into thin strips once rested. While the chicken rests, let’s whip up the chipotle mayo. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1-2 tablespoons chipotle sauce, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended. If you prefer more heat, add extra chipotle sauce. Taste the mayo before serving; it should have a nice kick but not overpower the chicken. Now comes the fun part: assembling those wraps! Take a large tortilla and lay it flat on your surface. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of your chipotle mayo on the tortilla. Next, layer on the ingredients. Start with a handful of shredded romaine lettuce, then add your sliced grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and avocado slices. When layering, remember to keep it neat. This helps with rolling. Now, to roll the tortilla, start at one end and fold it over the filling. Tuck in the sides as you roll tightly. This keeps everything secure. Repeat this for the rest of your tortillas and fillings. If you want those lovely grill marks, pop the wraps back on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side. Enjoy your wraps with a side of extra chipotle mayo for dipping! To get those perfect grill marks, start with a hot grill. Preheat it well. Place the chicken on the grill and do not move it for a few minutes. This helps form nice lines. Flip the chicken only once for even cooking. To ensure chicken cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer. Cook until the inside reaches 165°F (75°C). If you notice thick parts, pound them to an even thickness. This helps them cook at the same rate. For extra flavor, try adding cumin or chili powder to your spice mix. You can also add a touch of honey for sweetness. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can brighten the dish. When it comes to the chipotle mayo, consider adding a bit of garlic or onion powder. If you like it hot, increase the chipotle sauce. Lime juice adds a zesty kick. Serve your wraps with fresh sides like corn salad or guacamole. Crispy potato wedges also pair well. For dipping, try a tangy salsa or extra chipotle mayo. Presentation matters! Cut each wrap in half and place them on a colorful platter. Garnish with lime wedges. This adds a nice touch and a pop of color. For the complete process, check out the Full Recipe. {{image_2}} You can switch up the protein in these wraps for fun. Shrimp is a great choice. Use about a pound of peeled shrimp. Season them as you would the chicken. Grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side. For beef, thinly slice a steak and marinate it in the same spices. Cook it over high heat for 5-6 minutes. If you prefer plant-based options, try grilled tofu. Press it to remove moisture, then cut it into strips. Cook it for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. If you need a gluten-free option, use corn tortillas. They work great with the filling and add a lovely flavor. For vegetarians, skip the meat and add more veggies. Grilled peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms make excellent substitutes. Vegans can replace mayonnaise with a plant-based version. Just ensure the chipotle sauce is vegan-friendly, and you’re good to go. You can adjust the chipotle mayo to suit your heat level. If you want it milder, use less chipotle sauce. You can even add some honey for sweetness. For extra crunch, try adding sliced cucumbers or carrots to your wraps. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can brighten the flavor too. Each variation makes the wraps exciting and keeps them fresh. Enjoy experimenting! To keep your spicy grilled chicken wraps fresh, cool them first. Place them in airtight containers. This method helps keep moisture in and air out. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. If you have chipotle mayo left, store it in a separate container. This keeps it from making the wraps soggy. You can freeze these wraps if you have extra. Wrap each one in plastic wrap or foil. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag. This keeps them safe from freezer burn. They can stay frozen for up to three months. To enjoy them later, thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating. This helps keep the taste and texture right.

Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 avocado, sliced

For the Chipotle Mayo:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1-2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

      Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

        Place the chicken onto the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

          Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

            While the chicken is resting, prepare the chipotle mayo by mixing the mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.

              To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat and spread 1-2 tablespoons of the chipotle mayo on the surface.

                Add a layer of shredded romaine lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and avocado slices on top of the mayo.

                  Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends as you go to secure the contents.

                    Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

                      For added grill marks, you can return the wrapped tortillas to the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side, if desired.

                        Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 4
