Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

For Assembly:

4 large tortillas (choose between flour or spinach)

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)

Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely coated in the marinade. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor absorption.

    Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently stir to combine. Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors develop while the chicken is grilling.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully add the marinated chicken breasts to the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

        Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Layer a generous handful of mixed greens in the center, followed by several slices of grilled chicken. Top with a generous amount of mango salsa. If you like, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a richer texture and flavor.

          Wrap It Up: To properly wrap the tortilla, fold the sides inwards over the filling, then roll the bottom edge up towards the center, enclosing the fillings snugly. If needed, secure the wrap with a toothpick to hold it together.

            Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a convenient on-the-go meal!
