Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into slices
  • 4 tbsp whole milk yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 3 tbsp oil

For the Spicy Yogurt Dressing:

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp hot sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

For the Salad:

  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the Wrap:

  • 10-12 tortilla wraps
  • Lettuce, sliced

Method:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a mixing bowl, add the sliced chicken and season with salt, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, red chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add yogurt, oil, tomato paste, and lemon juice. Mix everything well until the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and nicely browned. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Yogurt Dressing:
    In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh parsley. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less hot sauce based on your preference.
  4. Make the Salad:
    In a separate bowl, combine the diced red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to mix well.
  5. Assemble the Wraps:
    Warm the tortilla wraps in a skillet or microwave. Spread a generous amount of the spicy yogurt dressing on each wrap, then layer with lettuce, cooked chicken, and the fresh salad. Drizzle more spicy yogurt sauce on top if desired.
  6. Serve & Enjoy!
    Fold the wraps tightly, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious, spicy chicken wrap!

Pro Tips:

  • Adjust the Heat: If you want an extra kick, add more hot sauce to the dressing or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade.
  • Make it Healthier: Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt in the dressing for a lighter version.
  • Storage: You can store any leftover chicken and salad separately in the fridge for 2-3 days and assemble wraps as needed.

This wrap is perfect for those busy days when you want a flavorful, filling meal with minimal effort!
