# How to Make It:

01 - Combine chipotle in adobo, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor development.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked with clear juices. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave briefly until pliable and warm.
05 - Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato in the center of each warm tortilla. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It delivers smoky, spicy flavor without complicated steps or hard-to-find ingredients.
  • The Greek yogurt sauce is tangy and creamy, balancing the heat in a way that feels just right.
  • Everything wraps up neatly, making it perfect for lunches, quick dinners, or even meal prep.
  • You get restaurant-level taste with minimal cleanup and maximum satisfaction.
02 -
  • Do not skip resting the chicken after cooking, it keeps the juices inside and makes slicing much easier.
  • Warm your tortillas before assembling or they will crack and split when you try to roll them.
  • If the chipotle marinade seems too spicy, start with one tablespoon and add more to taste after cooking a test piece.
  • Use ripe avocado that gives slightly when pressed, underripe avocado will be hard and flavorless in the wrap.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender, easy-to-bite pieces in every wrap.
  • If your tortilla is too stuffed, it will burst, so resist the urge to overfill and keep the ingredients centered.
  • Toast the assembled wrap seam-side down in a hot pan for 30 seconds to seal it and add a little crunch.
  • Taste your yogurt sauce before assembling and adjust the lime or honey, balance is everything here.
