Description

A zesty grilled chicken wrap with spicy mayo, crisp veggies, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for lunch or a quick dinner with a kick!


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ cups cooked chicken (shredded, grilled, or air-fried)
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (Frank’s, sriracha, or buffalo)
  • 1 tbsp mayo or Greek yogurt
  • 1 large tortilla or wrap
  • 1 cup lettuce or shredded cabbage
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes or salsa
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (pepper jack or cheddar work well)
  • Optional: jalapeños, avocado, red onion, lime juice


Instructions

  1. Season chicken: Toss chicken strips with oil and spices. Let marinate 15 mins (or overnight for more flavor).

  3. Make spicy mayo: Mix all ingredients in small bowl.
  4. Assemble: Warm tortillas. Spread 1 tbsp spicy mayo on each. Layer with chicken, cheese, veggies, and jalapeños.
  5. Wrap: Fold sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom. Grill seam-side down 1-2 mins to seal (optional).
  6. Serve: Cut diagonally and serve with extra spicy mayo for dipping.

Notes

  • Heat control: Omit cayenne for mild version; add 1/2 tsp habanero powder for extreme heat.
  • Low-carb: Use lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas.
  • Meal prep: Store components separately; assemble when ready to eat.
