  • 2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tsp chicken seasoning

Instructions
 

for the chicken

  • Chop your chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces and add your chicken to a medium sized bowl.
  • Add your buttermilk, salt, sweet basil, crushed garlic, paprika, chilli flakes and chicken seasoning into the same bowl with the chicken pieces and mix well.
  • Allow your chicken to marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes. In the meantime make your tzatziki.
  • Once your chicken has marinated in the fridge, heat your oil in a wide pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once your oil is heated, fry your chopped onion until it is golden brown. Set aside in a small bowl which is lined with a paper towel.
  • Now, fry your chicken in the same oil for about 5-10 minutes or until your chicken is cooked to perfection. Then set aside in a bowl that is lined with parchment paper.

tzatziki

  • Combine all your tzatziki ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and mix well with a fork.

how to assemble the wraps

  • Start off by placing some cheese on your tortilla then add chicken, onions and tzatziki then fold your wrap. Insert a toothpick to make sure that the folds stay in place. Do this for all four wraps.
  • Once that is done place your wraps cheese-side-down onto a grilling pan and grill them for about 5-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and your wraps are warm.
