Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large tortilla wraps
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

How to Make Spicy Chicken Wraps

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill (if using). Mix well and set aside.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Lay out the tortilla wraps on a clean surface. Start by adding a handful of fresh spinach leaves to the center of each wrap.
  5. Add a generous portion of the spicy chicken on top of the spinach, followed by cucumber slices.
  6. Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
  8. Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for a meal on the go.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the spices and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer a milder wrap, reduce the cayenne pepper or skip it altogether.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like avocado, shredded carrots, or bell peppers for additional crunch and flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute chicken with grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
  • Swap out the yogurt sauce for hummus or a spicy salsa for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch.
  • A fresh fruit salad to balance the spice.
  • Homemade potato chips for a delightful crunch.
  • A light soup, like tomato basil, for a comforting meal.

Storage and Reheating

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
