# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine chipotle in adobo, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds 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 and roll up tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade soaks into the chicken so deeply that every slice tastes smoky and bold.
  • It comes together in less than 40 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight chaos.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cools the heat just enough without losing the kick.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps in minutes when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking or the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving the meat dry.
  • Warm your tortillas, cold ones crack and tear the moment you try to roll them.
  • Don't overfill the wraps, less is more when it comes to a clean fold.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain so every piece is tender, not chewy.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to chop the chipotle in adobo right in the can, it's faster and less messy than a knife.
  • If your avocado isn't ripe, mash it lightly with lime juice and salt to make it spreadable and flavorful.
  • For meal prep, marinate and grill all the chicken on Sunday, then assemble wraps throughout the week in under five minutes.
  • Toast the tortillas with a little butter for extra flavor and a golden, crispy edge.
