# What you need:

→ Chicken Marinade

01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce, finely chopped
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Greek Yogurt Sauce

09 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
12 - 1/2 teaspoon honey
13 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Wrap Assembly

14 - 4 large flour tortillas
15 - 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
16 - 2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
17 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
18 - 1 medium tomato, diced (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a 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 refrigerate up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing 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 workable.
05 - Place lettuce in the center of each tortilla, followed by sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato if desired. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It delivers bold, smoky flavor without any complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cools down the chipotle heat just enough to keep you reaching for another bite.
  • Everything comes together in about half an hour, making it perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute gatherings.
  • Leftovers (if there are any) taste even better the next day once the flavors have mingled.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting step after cooking the chicken, or you'll lose all those flavorful juices to your cutting board instead of your mouth.
  • Warm your tortillas before assembling, or they'll crack and split the moment you try to roll them up.
  • Slice your chicken thinly so every bite has a little bit of everything instead of one giant chunk of meat.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan instead of a regular skillet to get those charred lines that add smoky flavor and visual appeal.
  • Slice your avocado lengthwise instead of dicing it so each bite gets a creamy ribbon instead of mushy chunks.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try steaming them briefly over simmering water to make them extra pliable.
