Feel free to customize your wraps by adding sliced avocado, shredded cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat. You can also swap chicken for grilled shrimp or roasted vegetables for a different twist.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Wraps:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
  2. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly distribute the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onions. Top with the cooked chicken.
  4. Drizzle with Sauce: Spoon the garlic cream sauce over the chicken, then tightly roll up each wrap.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. Pair with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

These wraps are perfect for meal prep or a quick grab-and-go option. Try toasting them on a skillet for an extra crispy finish!
