03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine chipotle in adobo, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for minimum 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor development.
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 before slicing thinly against the grain.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, fresh cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave for several seconds until pliable and ready for assembly.
05 - Place lettuce in the center of each tortilla. Layer sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to create a secure wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It delivers bold smoky flavor without requiring a grill or fancy equipment.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cools down the heat in a way that feels perfectly balanced.
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, making it ideal for busy evenings.
  • The wraps hold up well for lunch the next day if you keep the sauce separate.
02 -
  • Do not skip resting the chicken after cooking, it keeps the juices inside instead of spilling out when you slice.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack and tear when you try to roll them.
  • If your chipotle peppers are large, start with less and taste the marinade before adding more heat.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender bite.
03 -
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating so they cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • If you don't have a grill pan, a regular skillet works just fine, you'll still get great flavor.
  • For meal prep, store each component separately and assemble wraps fresh to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
  • Double the yogurt sauce recipe, it's delicious on salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables.
