Ingredients

Chipotle Mayonnaise

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Grilled Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheese blend

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Chipotle Mayo

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, finely chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

If using thick chicken breasts, slice them horizontally into thinner cutlets about ½ inch thick. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, lime juice, and minced garlic. Toss until well coated.
For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator if time allows.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface if needed. Cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, slice into bite-sized strips or chunks.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheese, and grilled chicken. Drizzle generously with chipotle mayo.

Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap.

Step 5: Serve

Slice each wrap in half, if desired, and serve immediately while warm. These wraps pair well with fries, chips, or a crisp side salad.

Tips for Success

  •  In a hurry? Use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  •  For extra depth, season the chicken a few hours in advance and marinate overnight.
  • Warm tortillas are easier to roll and less likely to tear.
  • Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Want more heat? Add extra chipotle or a pinch of cayenne to the mayo.
