Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 ripe mango, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for extra heat)

Juice of 1 fresh lime

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce (such as romaine or iceberg)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Rub this flavorful mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts to ensure they are well coated.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

      Make the Mango Salsa: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. Taste and add salt as needed. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. In the center of the tortilla, add a handful of shredded lettuce. Follow this with a portion of the sliced grilled chicken and a generous scoop of the vibrant mango salsa. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.

          Wrap It Up: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the filling, then roll from the bottom up to tightly secure the contents inside. Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining tortillas.

            Serve: For an appealing presentation, cut each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side for drizzling or dipping.
