Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and lemon juice in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 7-10 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  3. Prep the veggies: While the chicken cooks, chop lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble wraps: Lay out tortillas or pita bread. Slice cooked chicken thinly and place down the center with fresh veggies.
  5. Add sauce: Drizzle tahini or garlic sauce generously over the filling. Roll tightly from one end to another.
  6. Serve immediately: Cut wraps in half if desired and enjoy warm!
