Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp red chili powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
For Cooking:
- 2 tbsp clarified butter or ghee
For the Veggies:
- 1 red onion, finely diced and rinsed
- Lettuce, chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
For the Spicy Garlic Mayo Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2–3 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 3–4 tbsp buttermilk (optional, for thinner consistency)
To Assemble:
- 3 large tortilla wraps
Method
- Marinate the Chicken In a bowl, combine chicken cubes with salt, smoked paprika, red chili powder, garlic powder, coriander powder, black pepper, mayonnaise, oil, and lemon juice. Mix well until all pieces are coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
- Cook the Chicken Heat clarified butter or ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken in batches (avoid overcrowding). Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for another 4–5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and juicy. Set aside.
- Make the Spicy Garlic Mayo Sauce In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, hot sauce, lemon juice, and parsley. Add buttermilk if you want a thinner, more drizzle-able consistency. Mix until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Assemble the Wraps Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave for 1–2 minutes on each side. Layer chopped lettuce, cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle generously with the spicy garlic mayo sauce. Fold or roll tightly into wraps. Serve immediately.
Pro Tips
- Marinating with mayonnaise keeps the chicken extra juicy.
- Don’t skip rinsing the onions — it removes harshness and improves flavor.
- For extra crispiness, lightly toast the assembled wrap on a hot pan (seam side down first).
- Make the sauce ahead — it tastes even better after 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Add sliced avocado, jalapeños, or cheese for extra indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad. These wraps also make great lunchbox meals when wrapped in foil.
