Ingredients

Grilled Chicken

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon dried oregano

Cilantro Lime Crema

1 ¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup cilantro minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt

For The Wraps

6 tortilla Wraps
6 large iceberg lettuce leaves
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded cheese
1 large Roma tomatoes chopped

Instructions

In a large bowl or freezer bag, add olive oil, honey, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, paprika, chili powder, coriander, and oregano. Mix until well combined.
Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making two cutlets. Add chicken to marinade and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Add cilantro lime crema ingredients to a small bowl. Mix until well combined and refrigerate.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve. Cook chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat or a preheated grill to medium heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes or pan fry for 3-5 minutes on each side. Baste halfway through grilling with reserved marinade
Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble wraps, starting with a tortilla wrap, one lettuce leaf, chicken, cheese, and cilantro lime crema sauce.
Fold the wraps and cook for 2-3 minutes in a large skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
Serve with remaining cilantro-lime crema sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

When marinating the chicken, flip the bag or stir occasionally to ensure better flavor distribution. Thirty minutes is the minimum but 2-4 hours will give you even more flavor.
When making the cilantro-lime crema, make it before you start grilling the chicken so there's time for the flavors to meld together while it cools in the refrigerator.
Don't overfill your wraps. Leave about an inch of space around the edges when adding the ingredients.
Toast the assembled wraps until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This creates a crispy exterior and keeps the inside melty and hot.
