Ingredients
Scale
For the chicken:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts uncooked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
For the wraps:
- 2 10 inch large burrito sized whole wheat tortillas
- ¼ cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup low sugar BBQ sauce
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (recommended broccoli slaw)
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 1 green onion finely sliced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded (divided)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce chopped
- 6 slices of tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Prepare the chicken: Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness. Coat with olive oil and rub the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper evenly over both sides.
- Grill the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill or grill pan and cook each side thoroughly until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked.
- Rest and slice: Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Greek yogurt, BBQ sauce, coleslaw mix, cilantro, green onion, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything well to evenly distribute flavors.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas and add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce on each. Divide the filling evenly on top, add 3 tomato slices per wrap, and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, bring up the bottom flap, and roll tightly. Slice each wrap in half and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Pre-grilled chicken strips can be used to save cooking time instead of fresh chicken breasts.
- 2% Greek yogurt or mayonnaise are suitable substitutes for 0% Greek yogurt if preferred for creaminess.
- Using broccoli slaw in the coleslaw mix adds a nice crunch and flavor, but regular coleslaw mix works as well.
- If you prefer spicier wraps, increase the cayenne pepper slightly to taste.
- To keep the wraps warm and melted cheese, you can lightly toast the wrapped tortillas in a pan after assembling.
