Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large flour tortillas (or wraps of your choice)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

    Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

      Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped jalapeño, and red onion. Toss together gently to mix the flavors. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous handful of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Top with the sliced chicken, followed by the pineapple-jalapeño mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

          Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll from the bottom up to secure the filling. You can secure with toothpicks or wrap in parchment paper if desired.

            Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and garnish with fresh cilantro if using. Enjoy these wraps fresh, or you can grill them for a couple of minutes on each side for extra warmth and crispiness.
