Ingredients
Scale
- 1.75 lb chicken breasts
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, about 1–2 lemons
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 4–5 flour tortillas, burrito size
- 1 roma tomato, chopped
- ¼ cup red onion
- 1 cup romaine, sliced
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1–2 Tbsp Sriracha
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the marinade by combining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl, whisking until well-incorporated.
- Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they’re completely coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken rests, prepare the spicy sauce by combining Greek yogurt, Sriracha, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and adjust heat level to your preference.
- Slice the rested chicken into thin strips across the grain.
- Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15 seconds.
- Assemble each wrap by layering chicken strips, chopped tomato, sliced red onion, and romaine lettuce in the center of each tortilla, then drizzling with the spicy yogurt sauce.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to create a secure wrap. Slice diagonally if desired and serve immediately.
