Grilled Chicken Wrap with Fries and Dipping Sauce

by
  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Rub the mixture evenly over both chicken breasts. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
  2. Grill the Chicken:
    • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
    • Cook the chicken for about 6–8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
    • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 2: Preparing the Fries

  1. Cut the Potatoes:
    • Peel the russet potatoes (optional) and cut them into even-sized sticks or wedges for consistent cooking.
  2. Season the Fries:
    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Bake or Air Fry:
    • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
    • Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the fries in batches for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Step 3: Making the Signature Dipping Sauce

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Chill the Sauce:
    • Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 4: Assembling the Wrape

  1. Warm the Tortillas:
    • Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10–15 seconds.
  2. Layer the Ingredients:
    • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (if desired) onto each tortilla.
    • Add shredded lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and red onions. Place the grilled chicken strips on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Wrap it Up:
    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.

Step 5: Serving and Presentation

  1. Plate the Dish:
    • Slice the wraps diagonally for a clean presentation and place them on a plate.
    • Add a generous portion of crispy fries on the side.
  2. Serve with Dipping Sauce:
    • Pour the chilled dipping sauce into a small bowl and place it alongside the wraps and fries for a complete meal.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Wrap Experience

  1. Customizations:
    • Add avocado slices or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
    • Substitute spinach or kale for lettuce for a nutrient boost.
  2. Meal Prep Option:
    • Prepare all components ahead of time and assemble the wraps just before serving to maintain freshness.
  3. Pairing Ideas:
    • Serve with a cold glass of lemonade, iced tea, or your favorite soda for a refreshing accompaniment.
