Instructions

Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking the chicken evenly.
Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts evenly with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to infuse flavor before grilling.
Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain juices, then slice it thinly for easier wrapping.
Warm the Tortillas: Lightly warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable, preventing tearing during wrap assembly.
Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, grilled chicken slices, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheese, and add a drizzle of ranch or chipotle mayo if desired.
Roll and Serve: Roll up the wraps tightly by folding in the sides first, then rolling from one edge to the other. Slice in half for easier eating and serve immediately.
