In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into strips, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the avocado into thin slices.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Warm the tortilla wraps in the oven or on a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.
To assemble the wraps, spread 2 tablespoons of dairy-free cheese sauce on each tortilla.
Layer with romaine lettuce, red bell pepper, sliced avocado, and the cooked chicken strips.
Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of nutritional yeast over the veggies and chicken in each wrap for a cheesy flavor.
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to enclose the filling.
Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately for a fresh and delicious meal.
