Method
Oven-grilled chicken
Prep and marinate
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken breasts dry and, if thick, butterfly or lightly pound to an even thickness (~3/4 inch). In a small bowl combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Rub mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes (or refrigerate up to 2 hours).
Grill in oven
Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe grill pan lined with foil. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 12–18 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For a light char, switch oven to broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning. Remove from oven and rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain into 1/4-inch strips.
Crispy tots
Increase oven to 450°F (230°C) after chicken is removed (or cook concurrently if space allows). Spread frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet; lightly spray or toss with 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Bake 18–25 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crispy. Keep warm until serving.
Wrap assembly
On each warmed tortilla, place about 1 cup of lettuce leaving a 2-inch border at the top and bottom. Add 4–5 slices of the oven-grilled chicken (about 4 oz per wrap), 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons pickles, 2 fresh basil leaves, and 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar if using. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the chosen sauce down the center or serve sauce on the side.
To roll: fold the bottom edge up over the filling, fold the left and right sides in, then continue rolling tightly toward the top until sealed. If desired, place seam-side down on a warm skillet for 1 minute per side to seal and lightly toast.
Slice each wrap in half on the bias and serve immediately with a portion (about 125 g) of crispy tots and additional sauce on the side.
