These Harissa Chicken Wraps bring bold North African-inspired flavor to your table with minimal effort. Marinating the chicken in a blend of harissa, lemon, and smoked paprika ensures juicy, flavorful meat with a smoky, spicy kick. Layered with crisp lettuce, fresh cilantro, sweet red onions, and cooling Greek yogurt, each bite is a perfect balance of heat, freshness, and creamy tang. The wraps are quick enough for a weeknight but special enough for entertaining. For best results, be sure to brown the chicken thoroughly to develop deep flavor, a technique inspired by the best modern kitchen science.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for extra flavor).
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Spread a spoonful of Greek yogurt over each tortilla. Top with lettuce, red onion, cilantro, and sliced harissa chicken.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to form a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.
