They are simple to make, can be adjusted to your liking, and are great for people with celiac disease or anyone avoiding gluten.

These wraps will be well adapted to your diet, whether you reside in the USA, UK, Canada, or Europe. So let us go over the procedure and all the details on how these delicious, healthy wraps can be made.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• Chicken breast (skinless boneless) 2 large sized (~500g)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tea spoon garlic powder
• 1 tea spoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 table spoon lemon juice

For the Wraps:

• 4 to 6 gluten-free tortillas (as per size, ready-made or home-made)
• 4 large lettuce leaves
• 2 tomatoes cut into slices
• 1 cucumber cut into slices
• 1 small red onion thinly sliced
• 1 avocado sliced
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
• ½ cup gluten-free mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons hot or barbecue sauce, optional

Optional Add-Ons:

• ¼ cup picked cut
• ¼ cup olives sliced
• 1 cup grated carrots

Preparation Steps:

1.    Marinate the chicken:

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Combine to achieve a tasty liquid for standing the meats in. After that, dunk the chicken breasts in the marinade and make sure they are well covered, and leave for a minimum of 30 minutes inside the refrigerator (or a maximum of 4 hours if you want them to taste bolder).

2.    Prepare the chicken:

On medium-high heat, place a large skillet or a grill pan. Pour a bit of olive oil and place the marinated chicken breasts on the skillet for around 6-7 minutes on each side or until done and nicely brown in color. After that, take it off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Make slices of chicken into thin pieces.

3.    Get the vegetables ready:

If the chicken is cooking, get all the other things you will be putting into the wrap ready. The leaves of lettuce should be washed and dried. Other vegetables to slice are tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, and red onions. Place them on a plate.

4.    Put the Wraps Together:

• Grab a gluten-free tortilla and place it on a flat, clean surface.
• In the middle of the tortilla, spread a spoonful of gluten-free mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
• Place the leaf of the lettuce, a few pieces of tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
• Add about 4-5 chicken slices on top, some avocado slices, and then shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
• Add hot sauce or BBQ sauce for extra taste if desired.
• Tuck in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll the tortilla into a wrap.

5.    Serve:

To facilitate the handling of the wrap, you may cut it into two halves. For the rest of the tortillas and all the ingredients, process like so. You can fill the wraps with gluten-free chips, fresh green salad, or even sweet potato fries.
