Instructions

Prepare the chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them rest for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Marinating longer enhances the flavour.

Grill the chicken

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Let the chicken rest

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Resting ensures juiciness.

Prepare the salad

In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss with Ranch dressing.

Pro tip: Adjust dressing amount to taste.

Assemble the wraps

Lay a tortilla flat, place a portion of sliced chicken in the centre, top with salad mixture, and wrap tightly.

Pro tip: Warm the tortillas for easier wrapping.

Serve

Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and tasty grilled chicken salad wraps.
