Ultimate Grilled Chicken Wrap Recipe
Description
This recipe grills boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs seasoned simply with lemon pepper and salt over medium heat, creating tender, flavorful meat with a light char. After resting, the chicken is chopped into cubes for easy assembling. Fresh vegetables including trimmed romaine leaves, diced tomato, and avocado add crispness and creaminess.
The wraps use large flour tortillas, warmed if needed for pliability, filled with lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, Caesar dressing, cheddar cheese, and the grilled chicken chunks. The dressing adds tang and moisture, while the cheddar adds sharpness and richness. The wrap is rolled tightly for easy eating.
Perfect for meal prepping, the grilled chicken and veggies can be prepared in advance and stored separately. The finished wraps can be individually wrapped and refrigerated for up to five days, making them convenient for packed lunches or quick dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken breast or thighs, boneless
- 8 large flour tortillas burrito-size
- 16 romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 ounces alfalfa sprouts
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 1 avocado ripe
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded sharp
- ¾ cup caesar dressing
- lemon pepper seasoning
- salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Sprinkle the boneless skinless chicken pieces liberally with lemon pepper seasoning and salt.
- Once the grill is hot, grill the chicken pieces for 5 minutes per side. Then move them to a cutting board and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes. Once the chicken has cooled chop it into ½ inch cubes.
- Meanwhile, trim the romaine lettuce leaves to be 3 inches shorter than the flour tortillas. Chop the tomatoes into ½ inch cubes. Then chop the avocado into ½ inch cubes as well.
- To Assemble: Lay a tortilla out on a cutting board. (If the tortillas are not pliable, briefly warm them in the micriwave for 5-10 seconds.) Place the trimmed lettuce leaves over the tortilla, side by side. Sprinkle half an ounce of alfalfa sprouts over the lettuce leaves, followed by a good drizzle of Caesar dressing, about 1 ½ tablespoons per wrap. Arrange approximately 1/4 cup of chopped chicken down the length of one lettuce leaf. Then arrange 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of diced avocado over the lettuce leaves. Sprinkle 1 ounce of shredded cheese over the top of the tomatoes and avocados.
- To Roll: Fold the ends of the tortilla over the short ends of the lettuce leaves. Then starting on one long edge, roll the wrap like a burrito tucking in the ends as you roll. The final product should be one equally portioned cylinder with the ends completely tucked inward. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the wrap seam-side down and cut each wrap down the center, at an angle. Either wrap in plastic and refrigerate for later, or serve immediately.
Notes
- Grill a large batch of chicken in advance for meal prep and use throughout the week.
- Store fresh chopped vegetables separately in airtight containers for up to a week to maintain crispness.
- Wrap assembled wraps individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to five days for convenient meals.
