- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 large flour tortillas
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced

- 2 tbsps honey mustard dressing
- Lemon juice, to taste

Instructions
- Marinate: Blend minced garlic, paprika, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and pepper with chicken slices. Let the mixture infuse for 10 minutes to maximize flavor absorption.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high temperature, add oil, and sear chicken until golden-brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare Salad: Combine shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and cucumber. Toss gently to create a vibrant, fresh medley.
- Assemble Wraps: Warm flour tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave. Spread honey mustard dressing across each tortilla’s surface.
- Layer and Garnish: Arrange cooked chicken slices on dressed tortillas, top with prepared salad mixture. Sprinkle red chilli flakes to taste. Squeeze fresh lemon juice for added zest.
- Finish and Serve: Roll tortillas into compact wraps. Optional: Add a dollop of yogurt and mayonnaise for extra creaminess. Slice diagonally or serve whole, presenting a flavor-packed meal ready to be enjoyed immediately.
Notes
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Let chicken sit in spices for at least 10 minutes to absorb deep, rich seasonings.
- Perfect Chicken Searing: Use medium-high heat and ensure golden-brown exterior for optimal texture and taste.
- Wrap Rolling Technique: Fold tortilla edges inward first, then roll tightly to prevent filling from falling out.
- Temperature Matters: Serve wraps immediately while tortillas are warm and chicken remains juicy for best eating experience.
