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

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, ground turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat. Flip them occasionally until they are soft and pliable.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
  9. Serve the tangy turmeric chicken wraps immediately and enjoy!
