Vibrant wrap featuring smoky chipotle-marinated chicken, creamy avocado, crisp lettuce, and tangy Greek yogurt sauce in a soft tortilla.

# What You'll 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 - ½ teaspoon ground cumin
07 - ½ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Greek Yogurt Sauce

09 - ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
10 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
11 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
12 - ½ teaspoon honey
13 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ 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

# How to Prepare:

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. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced depth of flavor.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the 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 to create a smooth sauce.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable and easier to roll.
05 - Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent an hour marinating and grilling when you really just tossed things in a bowl and cooked fast.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cools down the smoky heat in a way that makes every bite balanced and crave-worthy.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken after cooking, cutting it too soon makes all the juice run out and you end up with dry meat.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack when you try to roll them, a rookie mistake I made more than once.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to cut the chipotle peppers directly in the bowl, it's faster and you won't stain your cutting board.
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, mash it lightly with a fork and mix it into the yogurt sauce for a creamy green drizzle that's just as good.
