Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Gluten-free tortilla wraps
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Sweet corn (cooked, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced

Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season them with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is resting, prepare your vegetables by washing and chopping the romaine lettuce, halving the cherry tomatoes, and slicing the avocado.
Warm the gluten-free tortillas in a non-stick skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble each wrap, lay a tortilla flat. Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo or chipotle-lime dressing in the center.
Add a handful of romaine lettuce, a portion of grilled chicken strips, cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Serve the wraps immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
