Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
Mayo Spread
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chicken Wraps
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 (4 ounce can) diced green chiles
- 5 lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato sliced
- 4 lices pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Place 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound them out to an even thickness.
- In a shallow dish like a 9x13 pan, or in a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag, combine 1/3 cup rice vinegar, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Submerge the chicken in the marinade and marinate in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes.
- When ready to cook, preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
- While grill is preheating, make the sauce in a small bowl by whisking together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Grill the chicken for about 5 to 8 minutes per side, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Actual time will depend on the thickness of your meat. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then slice into strips.
- Spread the mayo mixture on 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas. Sprinkle on the 1 (4 ounce can) diced green chiles, add on 5 lettuce leaves, 1 medium sliced tomato, 4 slices pepper jack cheese and the sliced chicken.
- Wrap up by folding in ends and rolling to close. Enjoy!

Notes
- Marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours to deepen the flavor without affecting the texture.
- f you don’t have a grill, you can easily cook the chicken in a skillet or oven. For skillet cooking, heat a little oil over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
