4 steps
Method
1
Rub the chicken with paprika, cumin, salt, and a little oil; grill or pan-sear 5–6 minutes a side. Rest, then slice.
11 min — timer available in cooking mode
2
Stir yogurt, garlic, lemon, and salt into a quick white sauce.
3
Warm the tortillas until pliable. Sauce first, then chicken, cucumber, tomato, and lettuce — in a strip, not a pile.
Why this works
Fillings in a tidy strip roll tight; a mound guarantees blowout.
4
Fold the ends, roll firmly, and griddle the seam 30 seconds to seal.

Chef's notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Refrigerate components separately up to 3 days; dress and assemble just before eating.
Freezing
Salads and sandwiches don't freeze; soups freeze beautifully for 3 months.
Reheating
Soups reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water. Sandwiches and salads are best assembled fresh — store components separately.
Make ahead
Batch the components (proteins, dressings, grains) on Sunday; assemble in minutes all week.
Wine pairing
Something light and cold — a crisp white, a spritz, or iced tea.
Beer pairing
A crisp pilsner or wheat beer keeps lunch light.
