Instructions

Preheat the Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken breasts.
Season the Chicken: Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to infuse flavor.
Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until fully cooked through and juices run clear.
Rest and Slice: Remove chicken from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly. This helps retain moisture in the meat.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until they become soft and pliable for easy wrapping.
Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded cheese.
Add Sauce and Roll: Drizzle ranch or chipotle mayo over the fillings if desired. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Serve: Slice each wrap in half if preferred and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the top for added zest.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil and seasoning for 30 minutes before grilling.
Substitute spinach or arugula for lettuce to add a peppery flavor twist.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier wrap option.
