Ingredients
- Chicken breast250 g
- Olive oil1 tbsp
- Greek yogurt100 g
- Parmesan20 g
- Dijon mustard1 tsp
- Lemon1/2 pc
- Romaine lettuce1/2 pc
- Flour tortillas2 pcs
- Salt1 pinch
- Pepper1 pinch
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken dry. Salt and pepper both sides.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken 6 minutes without moving, flip, then 6 more minutes until the thickest part is 75 °C or the juices run clear.
- 3
Rest the chicken on a board for 5 minutes so it stays juicy and does not wilt the lettuce. Meanwhile stir the yogurt, mustard, juice of half the lemon, grated parmesan and plenty of black pepper into a dressing.
Tip: Warm chicken on cold lettuce turns it limp. The 5-minute rest cools it just enough.
- 4
Slice or shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Slice the romaine into thin ribbons.
- 5
Toss the chicken and romaine through the dressing until everything is coated.
- 6
Warm each tortilla 20 seconds per side in a dry pan if you want them softer. Divide the filling, tuck in the sides and roll them up tightly.
Tip: Don't overfill - a wrap that's 80% full rolls tight; a stuffed one bursts open.
- 7
Let the wraps rest seam-side down for 5 minutes so they hold their shape, then halve and serve.
Cooking methods
On the stove
Medium-high for the chicken. A quick 20–30 seconds per side in a dry pan after that makes tortillas softer and easier to roll. Warm them before filling, not after.
On induction
Level 7 for the chicken. To soften tortillas, 20 seconds per side in a dry pan on 7 - they roll much more willingly when warm.
Over an open fire
Cook the chicken in a pan on a grate over calm embers. A few seconds of tortilla-warming on the grate adds char spots - keep the filling cool.
