If spicy chicken wraps are your go-to drive-thru order — but you’re trying to keep it clean — this recipe is your new obsession.

This Homemade Spicy Chicken Wrap is everything you love about the fast food version: bold heat, crispy lettuce, creamy sauce, and juicy seasoned chicken. But instead of mystery ingredients and greasy breading, this one’s made with real, simple food — and it’s ready in 20 minutes or less.

Perfect for lunch, dinner, or that mid-afternoon craving when you need something filling and fiery.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 large chicken breast or 2 chicken thighs, sliced into strips

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 whole wheat or low-carb tortillas (8–10 inch)

Wrap Fillings:

  • ¼ avocado, sliced

  • ½ cup shredded lettuce

  • 2 tbsp diced tomatoes or salsa

  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or clean ranch

  • Optional: hot sauce or sriracha for extra heat

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the chicken
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken strips with chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping once, until fully cooked and lightly golden.

  2. Warm the tortillas
    Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds until soft and pliable.

  3. Assemble the wraps
    Lay out tortillas and fill each with cooked chicken, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and a drizzle of yogurt or ranch. Add extra hot sauce if you like it spicy!

  4. Wrap and serve
    Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Slice in half or enjoy whole for a quick high-protein meal.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Make it dairy-free: Use a vegan ranch or skip the creamy sauce.

  • Add crunch: Toss in some shredded cabbage or sliced cucumbers.

  • Meal prep tip: Cook the chicken ahead and store in the fridge for 3 days.

  • Low-carb option: Use a lettuce wrap or grain-free tortilla.

This Homemade Spicy Chicken Wrap gives you all the flavor of your favorite fast food fix — without the crash. It’s clean, satisfying, and made in minutes. Whether you’re packing lunch or whipping up dinner after a long day, this is a wrap you’ll want on repeat.
