Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

- Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise) and Dijon mustard on each tortilla.
- Add a generous spoonful of the avocado spread.

- Arrange sliced chicken evenly over the ingredients.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- If desired, grill the wrap on a pan for 1-2 minutes per side for a crispy texture.
Step 5: Serve
- Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.
- Pair with a side of fresh fruit, chips, or a light salad.
