Marinating the chicken is a crucial step that elevates the flavor profile of your Tropical Grilled Chicken Mango Salsa Wraps. Begin by preparing your marinade, which should consist of a balance of acidity, sweetness, and spices. A great marinade can include lime juice, olive oil, garlic, honey, and a blend of spices such as cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. The acidity from the lime juice not only infuses the chicken with flavor but also helps tenderize the meat.

Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

For the Wraps:

4 large tortillas (whole wheat or regular)

1 cup leafy greens (like spinach or lettuce)

1 avocado, sliced (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight in the refrigerator).

    Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and place a handful of leafy greens in the center. Add sliced grilled chicken and top with a generous scoop of mango salsa. If using, add avocado slices for extra creaminess.

          Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom up to enclose all the fillings. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

            Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half, serve with lime wedges on the side, and enjoy your fresh, tropical meal!
