- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup oil

- 4 leaves Romaine

Be sure it seals tightly, too.1/2 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup oil
- Pound your chicken until a half inch thick to make for easier slicing later (optional). Add chicken to marinade, seal, and shake to coat. Place in the fridge and flip it after an hour.1 pound chicken breast
- After it marinates for one to three hours, heat grill and brush with oil. Grill the chicken 5-7 minutes per side until juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- Remove from grill and let rest. Once cooled to room temperature, slice thinly on the bias.
- Dice your onion and slice tomato thinly. Remove lettuce leaves from the head, but leave them whole.1/4 cup onion, 1 tomato
- Layer the cheese slices on a tortilla, then top with lettuce. Add the cold sliced chicken then tomato and onion. Sprinkle with extra lime juice, if you choose, then roll like a burrito. Slice in half. Serve immediately.4 tortillas, 4 leaves Romaine, 8 slices cheddar cheese
Notes
- You can make the chicken up to two days in advance. Cool to room temperature then slice and place in a tightly sealed container in the fridge until you're ready to make your wraps.
- Alternatively, if you slice the chicken very thinly, you can cover the entire wrap in the toppings and roll into a tight log. Slice of the ends, then slice into inch thick sections and thread onto a skewer for a fun way to serve your chicken taco wraps!
