For the Wraps

• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup ranch dressing or garlic yogurt sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2: Grill the Chicken

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3: Prepare the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing or garlic yogurt sauce in the center.

Add shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, avocado slices, shredded cheese, and grilled chicken.

Step 4: Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

Step 5: Toast (Optional)

For extra flavor and a crispy exterior, place the wraps seam-side down on a hot skillet or grill pan for 2–3 minutes on each side.

Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.
