Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the chicken marinade: olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Add the cubed chicken and mix thoroughly to coat it with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

3. 3

   Preheat a grill or pan over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

5. 5

   In a large bowl, combine the diced red onion, mixed bell peppers, cucumber, and minced garlic for the salad.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, whisk together the salad olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, oregano, and cumin powder.

7. 7

   Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat.

8. 8

   In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, optional sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, sambal oelek or chili sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika powder.

9. 9

   Stir the chopped parsley into the yogurt sauce.

10. 10

    Spread a layer of yogurt sauce over each tortilla.

11. 11

    Add grilled chicken and Mediterranean salad to each tortilla.

12. 12

    Fold the bottom half of each tortilla up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll the wrap up tightly.

13. 13

    Warm the wraps in a pan with some oil for 1–2 minutes, or until crispy.

14. 14

    Serve immediately.

Notes

The source lists some ingredients inconsistently: the chicken instructions use black pepper although it is not included in the chicken ingredient list, and garlic appears twice in the salad list. The chicken should be cooked through; no internal temperature is specified. Sour cream is optional.
