• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Weizen sauce

• 100 ml Maltese Weizen beer

For assembling

• 4 large tortillas (spelt or whole wheat)

Method

1. Sauce – Mix the Greek yogurt, mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Gradually add the Weizen beer until you have a creamy, pourable sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
2. Chicken – Season the chicken with oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill on a griddle or in a pan for 5 minutes per side over medium-high heat. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut into strips.
3. Vegetables – Mash the avocado with a fork, then add lemon juice and salt. Dice the tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.
4. Tortillas – Lightly warm the tortillas on a griddle or in a pan for 30 seconds per side.
5. Assembly – Spread the avocado over the tortilla, then add the arugula, tomatoes, red onion, and chicken strips, and drizzle with the Weizen sauce.
6. Transport – Roll the wrap tightly and wrap it in parchment paper or aluminum foil. It will keep perfectly for 3–4 hours. Serve with an ice-cold Maltese Weizen!

Recommended beer

🍺 Maltese Weizen – Its fruity, slightly spicy notes enhance the grilled chicken and pair perfectly with the creaminess of the avocado and the freshness of the yogurt sauce.
