Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make this chicken wrap:
- 2 chicken breasts (cut into strips)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla wraps (large)
- Lettuce or spring mix
- Sliced tomatoes

Instructions
Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken
Start by seasoning your chicken strips with:
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
Drizzle with olive oil and mix everything well to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked (about 5–7 minutes). Make sure to stir occasionally so the chicken cooks evenly.
Step 2: Warm the Tortilla Wraps
Warm your tortilla wraps in the microwave for about 10 seconds or heat them on a skillet for a few seconds on each side. This makes them soft and easier to fold without tearing.
Step 3: Build Your Chicken Wrap
Now it’s time to layer the goodness:
- Place the warm tortilla on a flat surface.
- Add a layer of lettuce or spring mix.
- Add cooked chicken strips.
- Top with sliced tomatoes.
- Sprinkle some shredded cheese.
- Drizzle with honey mustard sauce.
- Add extra toppings like red onions or avocado if you like.
Step 4: Fold and Wrap
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to make a burrito-style wrap. If needed, use a toothpick to hold it together.
Step 5: Toast for Extra Flavor (Optional)
Want a crispy outside? Place the wrap on a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step is optional but adds great texture and flavor.
