Prepare the spicy mayo sauce by mixing mayo, ketchup, sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined.
Season the chicken by combining garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator).

Grill the chicken on a hot grill pan for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Rest the chicken for 10 minutes before slicing into strips.
Assemble the wraps by laying out tortillas and adding lettuce, sliced chicken, bell peppers, and shredded cheese.
Add sauce by drizzling the spicy mayo over the fillings.
Roll the wraps tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.

Grill the assembled wraps for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly marked and the cheese begins to melt.
Slice in half and serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Perfect Grilled Chicken Wraps

For the juiciest chicken and the most flavorful grilled chicken wraps, try these professional tips:

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating to ensure they cook evenly and stay tender.
Don’t skip the resting time after grilling the chicken – this allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Warm your tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
Double the spicy mayo sauce and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week – it’s great on sandwiches and as a dipping sauce!

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerate assembled but not grilled wraps for up to 2 days, wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Check our guide for proper storage and reheating for grilled chicken.
Freeze fully assembled wraps (before final grilling) by wrapping individually in parchment paper, then aluminum foil, and placing in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Reheat refrigerated wraps in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until heated through, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.

Additions & Substitutions

Additions:

Add sliced avocado or guacamole for creaminess and healthy fats
Include caramelized onions for a sweet, savory element
Mix in corn kernels for sweetness and texture
Try adding crispy bacon bits for extra flavor and crunch

Substitutions:

Replace chicken with grilled shrimp, steak, or tofu for variation
Substitute Greek yogurt for mayo in the sauce for a lighter option
Use different cheese varieties like pepper jack or gouda for unique flavor profiles
Swap lettuce for spinach or arugula for different nutritional benefits
