Spicy yogurt chicken wraps are a delicious and healthy option for a quick meal. This dish combines the tanginess of Greek yogurt, the zestiness of lime juice, and the heat of pepper sauce with tender chicken, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. It's perfect for lunch or dinner and packed with flavor in every bite.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and pepper sauce.
- Mix well to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours.
- Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
- Place the chicken on the grill or in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- While the chicken is resting, warm the tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until it is pliable.
- Wash and roughly chop the lettuce.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread the chopped lettuce evenly over the tortilla.
- Place the chicken strips on top of the lettuce.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly from the bottom to the top to create the wrap.
- Cut the wrap in half if desired.
- Serve the spicy yogurt chicken wrap immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy wrap!
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken breasts in the yogurt, lime juice, and pepper sauce mix for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken breasts for added smokiness and a nice char.
- Warm the tortilla briefly in a pan or microwave to make it more pliable and easier to wrap.
- Use fresh, crisp lettuce to add a crunchy texture to the wrap.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like sliced avocado, tomatoes, or onions for added flavor and texture.
