Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chicken Breasts sliced into strips
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1/4 Cup Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 1 Cup Fresh Lettuce shredded
  • 4 Flour Tortillas
  • 1/4 Cup Shredded Cheese optional
  • Sour Cream optional for topping
  • Hot Sauce optional for extra heat

Equipment

  • Griddle or Skillet
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Tongs
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips with minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors penetrate the meat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken strips in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until it's golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, toss the bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra seasoning. Once done, remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Then, start assembling by placing a layer of fresh lettuce on the tortilla. Add a few strips of cooked garlic chicken, followed by the sautéed vegetables. If you're using cheese, sprinkle it on top.
  5. Add Optional Toppings: If you love sour cream or hot sauce, drizzle a bit on top for added flavor. You can also add some extra crunch with crumbled tortilla chips or a dash of lime juice.
  6. Roll and Serve: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly, ensuring all the filling stays inside. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious garlic chicken wrap!

Notes

The garlic chicken wraps can be easily customized with different vegetables or sauces. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add chili flakes to the chicken marinade or use a spicy hot sauce as a topping. For a healthier option, you can swap the flour tortillas with whole wheat or lettuce wraps for a low-carb alternative.
