Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Brush 6 oz boneless chicken breast with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface is nicely charred. Remove and let rest.
  3. Step 3: Brush 2 pineapple rings and 1 thinly sliced jalapeño with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and jalapeño slices for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir well to create the cilantro lime sauce.
  5. Step 5: Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
  6. Step 6: Warm 1 large (10-inch) flour tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side until pliable.
  7. Step 7: Lay the tortilla flat and spread half the cilantro lime sauce down the center. Layer grilled chicken strips, charred pineapple slices (cut into smaller pieces if desired), and grilled jalapeño slices. Drizzle with remaining sauce.
  8. Step 8: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Slice in half diagonally and serve warm.
