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 - ½ teaspoon ground cumin
07 - ½ teaspoon salt

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

# Method:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine chopped chipotle in adobo sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss thoroughly to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 hours for enhanced depth of flavor.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, fresh cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave for several seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Place each tortilla on a flat surface. Layer shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado slices, red onion, and tomato in the center. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade does all the heavy lifting, giving you bold smoky flavor with almost no effort.
  • It comes together in about half an hour, making it perfect for those nights when you want something satisfying without the fuss.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce balances the heat just right, so every bite feels complete.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps throughout the week for easy lunches.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting step for the chicken, or you'll lose all those flavorful juices when you slice into it too soon.
  • Warm your tortillas before assembling, otherwise they'll crack and tear when you try to roll them.
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt can help bring out its creaminess.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan with ridges to get those charred lines on the chicken, they add flavor and make it look restaurant quality.
  • Slice your avocado at the last possible moment to keep it from browning, or toss the slices in a bit of lime juice.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try double wrapping or using larger burrito sized ones for easier rolling.
