Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons of ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup of shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup of sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, ground turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure that the chicken breasts are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat. Flip them occasionally until they are soft and pliable.
- Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
- To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a layer of shredded lettuce on top, followed by sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and grilled chicken strips.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to create a wrap. Secure it with a toothpick if needed.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
- Serve the tangy turmeric chicken wraps immediately and enjoy!
