- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chili powder

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- Assemble the wraps: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each tortilla, layer lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, sliced chicken, cheese, and drizzle with ranch dressing or spicy sauce.
- Wrap it up: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up.
