Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot and lightly oiled.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F, with nice grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves to create the yogurt sauce.
  6. Step 6: Allow grilled chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  7. Step 7: Warm 2 large whole wheat tortillas briefly on the grill or in a dry skillet.
  8. Step 8: To assemble each wrap, spread half the yogurt sauce onto a tortilla, layer with 1 cup mixed salad greens, 1/4 cup sliced cucumber, and half the sliced grilled chicken.
  9. Step 9: Roll up tightly, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
