Ingredients You’ll Need

The best part about these wraps is how straightforward the ingredients are—each one shines for its unique role, from juicy grilled chicken to a tangy, luscious dressing. Having good-quality basics means every element contributes big time to the taste, texture, and color of your finished wraps.

• Chicken breasts: Lean, high-protein, and perfect for soaking up smoky grill flavor while staying tender.
• Olive oil: Helps the chicken stay juicy as it grills and forms the base of the bold, zesty dressing.
• Garlic powder: Infuses the chicken and dressing with a savory punch that perks up every bite.
• Onion powder: Enhances depth of flavor, working hand-in-hand with garlic for a savory backbone.
• Paprika: Gives a gorgeous color and mild smokiness—don’t skip if you want that perfect grilled look!
• Salt and pepper: Essential seasonings to bring everything to life; add to taste throughout.
• Lemon juice: Brightens the chicken and helps tenderize it as it grills—so refreshing.
• Whole wheat tortillas: Provide heartiness, subtle nuttiness, and fiber—feel free to swap with what you have on hand.
• Ripe avocados: The creamy, dreamy element that brings this whole wrap together—always go for just-ripe, not mushy.
• Shredded lettuce: For that crisp freshness and contrasting crunch.
• Cucumber: Sliced thin for incredible juiciness and crunch in every bite.
• Red onion: Thinly sliced to add a tangy zip and a brilliant pop of color.
• Tomato: Adds juiciness and lovely summery flavor with a burst of color.

How to Make MAKE THE DRESSING

Step 1: Grill and Season the Chicken

Getting perfectly grilled chicken is easier than you think! Start by rubbing your chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice. This simple blend gives you juicy, flavorful chicken that serves as the hearty base of your wrap. Preheat your grill or a grill pan, then cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, aiming for a gorgeous golden-brown finish. Remove the chicken and let it rest; this keeps it supremely juicy when you slice it later.

Step 2: Prepare the Veggies and Avocado

While the chicken sizzles, turn your attention to the veggies. Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion into thin pieces—think bite-sized so every mouthful gets a bit of everything. Shred your lettuce, chop some fresh cilantro, and slice two avocados. If you want a little more oomph, toss all the veggies (except avocado) with a pinch of salt and pepper. This tiny step makes a big difference in boosting their flavors and keeping every bite refreshing.

Step 3: MAKE THE DRESSING
Combine the Ingredients

It’s time to MAKE THE DRESSING
Combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or jar. Whisk until silky and emulsified. Dip a pinky and give it a taste: too tangy? Add a tad more honey. Want more zip? A splash more vinegar. If you love a bit of heat, a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce won’t go amiss. Homemade dressings like this truly transform a wrap from good to unforgettable.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Now, bring everything together! Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet so they’re soft and pliable. Lay down a base of lettuce, then pile on sliced avocado, grilled chicken, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and a scatter of fresh cilantro. MAKE THE DRESSING
Combine the prepared dressing and generously drizzle it over the whole pile. Want extra oomph? Now’s the time to add feta or an extra sprinkle of cilantro. Fold in the sides and roll your wrap up tightly—it’s time for the grand finale!

Step 5: Slice and Enjoy

Take a sharp knife and slice each wrap on the diagonal; this not only makes them easy to handle but ups the presentation game too. Lay them out on a platter, garnish if you wish, and watch them disappear. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, whether you’re serving them to friends, family, or enjoying a solo treat.
