Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C).
- While the chicken is grilling, heat a small pan over medium heat.
- Add a little olive oil if necessary and sauté the finely chopped onion until it becomes soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
- Once the chicken breasts are fully cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Heat the tortillas on a pan over low heat for about 20 seconds on each side or until they are warm and flexible.
- Lay each tortilla flat.
- Spread a small amount of mustard in the center of each tortilla.
- Place a portion of sliced chicken, a sprinkle of cooked onions, and a generous handful of shredded lettuce on each tortilla.
- Fold up the bottom of the tortilla, then fold in the sides, and roll up to enclose the filling.
7. Serve:
- Cut the wraps in half if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken in olive oil and your choice of spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and develops a nice char.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling the wraps to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- Feel free to add other veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers to the wraps for added crunch and flavor.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative and extra fiber.
