Grilled Chicken Wraps (2024)

Perfect for lunch or dinner, these Grilled Chicken Wraps are a flavor bomb! Loaded with fresh, healthy ingredients like chicken, tomatoes, and black beans, everything gets smothered in a Tex-Mex mayo and then wrapped up. Use freshly grilled chicken breasts or leftover meats from a cookout! Perfect for lunch or light dinner.

Whether it’s lunch or dinner, wraps are so easy to throw together and I find them incredibly satisfying as well. These grilled chicken wraps are made with just a few ingredients: grilled chicken, cheese, black beans, cilantro, and a simple dressing. This is such a good way to use up leftover grilled chicken from the weekend or holiday grilling!

These Grilled Chicken Wraps have a Tex-Mex twist thanks to the dressing. It’s so simple, made of just two ingredients: mayonnaise and taco seasoning. But, oh my, it is addictive! I’ll be adding it to everything: sandwiches, burgers, and using it as a dip for roasted veggies. I can’t get enough!

What is a Chicken Wrap made of?

• Chicken: Boneless skinless grilled chicken breasts. My Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe would taste delicious in these wraps! You can substitute grilled turkey if desired.
• Tortillas: I used 6 large white tortillas. Use your favorite flavor! Whole wheat or spinach would be delicious.
• Tomatoes: I prefer cherry or grape tomatoes because they burst with flavor in every bite, however, you can add whatever tomatoes you have on hand.
• Black beans: For ease, I opted for canned black beans. If you want to use dried, this Instant Pot recipe is so easy!
• Cheese: Either mozzarella or cheddar is great in this recipe.
• Cilantro: Chopped cilantro adds so much fresh flavor to these wraps. Parsley could work in a pinch, but for that Tex-Mex flavor go for cilantro.
• Olive oil: This is optional, it’s for toasting the Grilled Chicken Wraps, which I highly recommend.

The Dressing:

• Mayonnaise: Regular mayonnaise or try fat-free if you’re keeping it light!
• Taco seasoning: Any taco seasoning will work. If there is no salt, adjust the seasoning to your taste.

How do you make healthy Grilled Wraps at home?

1. Slice the chicken: Cut the grilled chicken into strips or cubes and divide among your 4 tortillas.

2. Add toppings: Top with tomatoes, beans, cheese, and cilantro.

3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and seasoning.

4. Drizzle the taco mayonnaise over the tortilla fillings.

5. Wrap them up! Wrap each tortilla tightly.

The following step is optional but I totally recommend it!

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Place the wrapped tortillas into the preheated skillet and cook over medium heat, until golden and the cheese has melted, around 2-3 minutes per side.

Tips For Success

• Don’t overstuff: Overstuffing the tortillas may cause the wraps to rip. Sometimes less is more!
• Switch up the meat: Add grilled, turkey breast, shrimp, salmon, or steak instead of chicken.
• Add extra veggies: Bell peppers, sautéed onion slices, and sautéed zucchini would all be delicious additions to this recipe.
• Use up leftovers: This is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken from a cookout.
• Store the fillings separately from the wraps in an airtight container for up to three days. The wraps may get soggy if they are stored with the filling.
