This Baja Chicken Wrap is a lunchtime favorite! It’s fresh, hearty, nutritious, and loaded with flavor-packed chicken, creamy cilantro sauce, lettuce, tomato, feta, and more!
This recipe is my version of a wrap that was made popular by Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Sonic. It’s a soft tortilla filled with the most flavorful chicken, a homemade creamy sauce, and tons of fresh toppings.
Why I LOVE this recipe!
- Super Flavorful Chicken – The Baja chicken is marinated, seared in a skillet, then baked in the oven. This process yields deliciously moist and flavorful chicken.
- Easy to Put Together – Just 10 minutes of hands-on time, a little bit of waiting, and a few minutes of assembly to whip this recipe up.
- Make-Ahead Friendly – You can make these on the spot OR you can prep the ingredients ahead of time for an easy meal prep option.
Ingredients + Substitutions
- Chicken Breast – Use boneless, skinless chicken breast for this recipe.
- Citrus Juice – I use a combination of lime juice and orange juice to marinate the chicken.
- Jalapeños – Remember, the seeds are what make the jalapeños super spicy. Feel free to leave them in if you like a lot of heat or remove them for a more mild flavor.
- Spices – A combination of garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper takes the chicken flavor to the next level.
- Cooking Oil
- Creamy Cilantro Sauce – Our cilantro sauce is made of a combination of Greek yogurt, salsa verde, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic.
- Tortillas
- Toppings – You can fill up your wrap with any combination of avocado, black bean and corn salsa, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, and feta cheese.
