How to Make Grilled Chicken Wraps

These wraps come together in just 30 minutes of active cooking time (plus marinating). The chicken turns out perfectly juicy every time, while the fresh vegetables, add crunch and the homemade sauce adds creaminess. Even beginners can make this recipe! Let’s talk about what makes these wraps so special – it’s all in the ingredients!

• Chicken Breasts: If you’re like me, I always opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they’re lean and cook quickly. If your chicken breasts are thick, gently pound them with a meat mallet or a heavy pan to an even thickness.

• Seasonings: My go-to blend includes: Chili powder, Paprika, garlic granules, Salt, pepper and oil for frying on the grill pan. Each spice adds a unique flavor that makes your dish incredibly tasty.

• Tortilla Wraps: Use flour, corn, chickpea, or whole wheat tortillas. I prefer large 10-inch flour tortillas for these wraps since they’re sturdy enough to hold all the delicious fillings without tearing.

• Cheese: I like mixing shredded cheddar and mozzarella. Cheddar adds a nice sharp flavor, and mozzarella makes it super melty. Feel free to use more or less of each to match your taste!

• Ranch Dressing: While store-bought works perfectly fine, I often use my homemade ranch dressing (recipe coming soon!) for an extra special touch. You can swap it with another dressing like sour cream—it won’t be as flavorful, but it’ll still taste good.

• Lettuce: adds that essential crisp texture that makes these wraps so satisfying. I like Iceberg lettuce because it stays crispy longer than other lettuces, its my favorite for this grilled chicken wrap recipe.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Season the chicken cutlets with your favorite seasoning. I love using a blend of smoked paprika (it adds such amazing depth!), chili powder (just enough for flavor), garlic granules, salt, and pepper.

• Heat oil in a grill pan, a regular skillet, or an outdoor grill (my favorite way to cook chicken for these wraps) over medium-high heat.

• Place the seasoned chicken cutlets on the pan or grill and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). I never, ever skip using my meat thermometer for this. It usually takes about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. usually takes about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting. I know it’s hard to wait (trust me, the smell gets me every time!), but this keeps all those tasty juices inside.

• My favorite part is putting it all together! First, start with a warm tortilla (just 30 seconds in a dry pan makes it nice and flexible), then add those crisp lettuce leaves.

• Add your sliced chicken, then sprinkle on that cheese while the chicken’s still warm—it’ll get a little melty.

• Pour ranch dressing (or your favorite sauce) over the top. You can add more if you love the extra flavor, it makes everything better! My kids always ask for more.

• Roll it all up, tucking in the sides as you go.

• Serve and Enjoy! – Perfect for a quick meal or lunch on the go.

What to Serve with Grilled Chicken Wraps

These wraps are pretty filling on their own, but I love serving them with:

• Sweet potato fries
• Fresh fruit salad
• Crispy coleslaw
• Greek pasta salad
• Grilled corn on the cob

Storing and Reheating Tips

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but here’s how to handle leftovers:

Storage:

• Store assembled wraps (without lettuce) in aluminum foil in the fridge for up to 2 days
• Keep grilled chicken separate from other ingredients for up to 3-4 days.
• Store prepped ingredients separately for the freshest results.

Reheating:

• Unwrap from foil and warm in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side
• Or microwave for 30-45 seconds (though this might make the tortilla slightly soggy)
• Add fresh lettuce after reheating

Notes and Tips for Making Your Grilled Chicken Wraps

1. Don’t Skip the Rest: Let your chicken sit for a few minutes after grilling to lock in all those flavorful juices.
2. Temperature Matters: Serve your wraps while the chicken is still warm but not hot – this prevents the lettuce from wilting.
3. Prep Ahead: You can grill the chicken and prep the toppings in advance, making assembly super quick when you’re ready to eat.
4. Roll Like a Pro: Don’t overfill your wraps, and tuck in the sides as you roll to prevent the filling from falling out.
