👨🍳 Directions
1. Make the Chipotle Mayo
Stir together mayo, chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Season the Chicken
If using thick breasts, slice into thin cutlets (about ½-inch thick). In a bowl, mix chicken with olive oil, garlic and onion powders, paprika, oregano, lime juice, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for a few hours if you have time.
3. Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if cooking in a skillet. Grill chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and grilled chicken. Drizzle with chipotle mayo, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly.
5. Serve
Cut wraps in half if you like, and enjoy warm alongside your favorite side dishes.
🔁 Tips & Shortcuts
