Instructions
Cook the Chicken:
- Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
- Rest and Slice: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Assemble the Wrap:
- Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado, tomato, and onion, and shred the lettuce.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer the shredded lettuce, tomato slices, onion, avocado slices, and sliced chicken.
- Add Dressing: If desired, spread a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top, or drizzle with a bit of lime juice for extra flavor.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, ensuring everything stays inside.
Serve:
- Cut and Serve: Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of chips, a salad, or your favorite dip.
