2 tablespoons tandoori masala
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt to taste
4 whole wheat wraps

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your wraps by laying out the whole wheat wraps on a clean surface.
Once the chicken is done, place it in the center of each wrap. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cucumber slices.
Drizzle with mint chutney, fold the sides of the wrap, and roll it up tightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Tandoori Chicken Wrap!
