Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 limes (juiced and zested)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

      Prepare the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce on each tortilla. Then, distribute the sliced chicken evenly among the tortillas.

        Add Toppings: Top the chicken with slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion. If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro for added flavor.

          Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the fillings inside.

            Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side.
