Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spiciness)
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Coat the chicken breasts well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Let rest before slicing.
- Prepare the Wrap: Slice grilled chicken into strips. On each tortilla, layer lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, sliced chicken, cheddar cheese, and drizzle with ranch dressing or spicy sauce.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice in half and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
