# How To:

01 - Combine chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Add chicken breasts and toss thoroughly to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Transfer to a cutting board and 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 for a few seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Place a tortilla on a work surface. Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado slices, red onion, and tomato in the center. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
06 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Big smoky flavor with minimal prep and cleanup.
  • Comes together in 35 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights.
  • Bright and tangy yogurt sauce balances the heat beautifully.
  • Feels like a restaurant wrap but costs a fraction of takeout.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking or the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving the meat dry.
  • Warming the tortillas is non negotiable, cold tortillas crack and ruin the whole wrap experience.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain for maximum tenderness in every bite.
  • Do not overfill the wraps or they will fall apart when you try to roll them.
03 -
  • Marinate the chicken for at least an hour if you can, the flavor deepens significantly.
  • Use a grill pan instead of a flat skillet to get those charred lines that add smoky flavor.
  • Double the yogurt sauce and keep it in the fridge, it is fantastic on tacos, salads, and grilled vegetables.
  • If your tortillas are small, use two overlapping to avoid tearing when you roll.
