Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Gluten-free tortillas or wraps (look for ones made from corn, cassava, or a trusted blend)
  • Cooked chicken (shredded or sliced; rotisserie, grilled, or baked)
  • Romaine or mixed greens
  • Cucumber (thinly sliced or julienned)
  • Tomatoes (grape or Roma, diced)
  • Avocado (optional, for creaminess and healthy fats)
  • Red onion (very thinly sliced)
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley for brightness)
  • Cheese (optional; feta or shredded cheddar)
  • Greek yogurt or mayo (for the sauce)
  • Lemon juice (fresh is best)
  • Dijon mustard (check gluten-free labeling)
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic (1 small clove, minced) or garlic powder
  • Spices (salt, black pepper, paprika, and a pinch of chili flakes if you like heat)

Instructions

  • Prep the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (or mayo), 1 teaspoon Dijon, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice, a small minced garlic clove (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder), a pinch of paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust. You want tangy, creamy, and lightly seasoned.
  • Season the chicken: If your chicken is plain, toss it with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Shredded rotisserie works great here.
  • Prep the vegetables: Wash and dry your greens. Slice cucumber and tomatoes. Thinly slice red onion. Cube or slice avocado if using. Chop cilantro or parsley.
  • Warm the wraps: Gently warm gluten-free tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20–30 seconds per side, or microwave between damp paper towels for 10–15 seconds. Warm wraps bend without cracking, which makes rolling easier.
  • Assemble: Lay a warm wrap on a board. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of sauce in the center. Add a handful of greens, a portion of chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, a few onion slices, and avocado. Sprinkle herbs and cheese if using.
  • Roll it up: Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, keeping everything snug. If your wrap is fragile, use a small piece of parchment or foil to help hold it together.
  • Serve: Slice in half on a diagonal. Add extra sauce or a squeeze of lemon on the side. Enjoy immediately.
  • For meal prep: Pack chicken, veggies, and sauce in separate containers. Assemble just before eating so the tortillas stay fresh and don’t get soggy.
