Ingredients
    For the Chicken Filling
  • 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt
    • For the Wrap Assembly
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup lettuce (shredded, fresh)
  • 0.5 cup cabbage (thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium carrot (julienned)
  • 0.5 cup cucumber (thin strips)
  • 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, optional but recommended)
    • For the Creamy Sauce
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp yogurt (plain)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp garlic paste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
    Prepare the Chicken
  1. 1
    Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for faster cooking. In a bowl, season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so every piece is evenly coated.
    2. Cook the Chicken
  2. 2
    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly golden.
    3. Add BBQ Flavor
  3. 3
    Pour in the BBQ sauce and mix thoroughly. Let the chicken simmer for another 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken nicely. Remove from heat and let it rest slightly.
    4. Prepare the Creamy Sauce
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
    5. Warm the Tortillas
  5. 5
    Lightly heat the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20–30 seconds. This makes them soft and easier to fold without breaking.
    6. Assemble the Wraps
  6. 6
    Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of creamy sauce. Add a portion of BBQ chicken in the center, followed by lettuce, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, and cheese.
    7. Wrap Properly
  7. 7
    Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Make sure the filling stays compact.
    8. Optional Toasting
  8. 8
    For extra flavor, place the wrap on a hot pan and toast for 1–2 minutes on each side until slightly crispy and golden.
Note

Use grilled chicken instead of pan-fried for a smoky flavor. Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier version. You can add jalapeños or chili flakes for extra spice. Store leftover filling in the fridge for up to 3 days. Wraps can be prepared ahead and packed for lunch.
