Ingredients:
For the Grilled Chicken Wrap:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
For the Fries:
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with this marinade and let them sit for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Prepare the Fries:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
- Make the Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to combine. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, adding more lemon or cayenne if desired.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- In the center of each tortilla, place a few slices of grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and red onions.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it up tightly, ensuring all the ingredients stay secure.
- Serve:
- Serve each grilled chicken wrap alongside a portion of crispy fries and a bowl of dipping sauce. Enjoy the combination of flavors and textures!
Serving and Storage Tips:
- Serving:
Serve these grilled chicken wraps immediately after preparation for the best taste. They pair perfectly with a refreshing side salad or a cold beverage like iced tea or lemonade. - Storage:
Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap to maintain freshness. To reheat, simply warm the wrap in a skillet or microwave, though the fries should be stored separately and reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.
