Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust based on your spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

For Assembly:

4 large tortillas (flour or spinach-based for extra color)

1 cup mixed greens (a blend of spinach, arugula, or romaine lettuce)

Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy finish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

    Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and taste for seasoning—adjust salt or lime juice if necessary. Set aside to allow the flavors to merge while the chicken is cooking.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated chicken breasts carefully to the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

        Assemble the Wraps: Grab a tortilla and place a generous handful of mixed greens in the center. Layer the sliced grilled chicken on top and spoon a hearty amount of mango salsa over the chicken. For an extra layer of creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

          Wrap It Up: To form a wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go to encase the filling completely. Use a toothpick to secure the wrap if necessary.

            Serve: Slice the wraps in half to showcase the vibrant colors inside. Serve immediately for the best flavor, or wrap them in foil for a delicious on-the-go meal!
