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

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Chicken

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

→ For the Greek Yogurt Sauce

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

→ For 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 up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor development.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken breasts 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
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 ready for assembly.
05 - Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade gives you restaurant-level smokiness with almost no effort, just a quick toss and a short rest.
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for nights when you want something impressive without the stress.
  • The creamy Greek yogurt sauce cools down the heat just enough to let all the other flavors shine through.
  • Every bite has texture, from the crisp lettuce to the silky avocado to the tender, charred chicken.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken after cooking, I cut into it too soon once and watched all the juices run out onto the cutting board instead of staying inside where they belonged.
  • Warm your tortillas or they'll crack when you try to roll them, I learned this the hard way with a torn wrap that spilled its guts all over my lap.
  • If your avocado is too firm, it won't spread or mash easily, so wait until it gives just slightly when you press it or you'll end up with hard chunks.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan instead of a regular skillet if you have one, the char marks add flavor and make the chicken look like it came off an actual grill.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try using burrito-size ones, they're thicker and more forgiving when you're rolling everything up tightly.
  • Taste your yogurt sauce before you assemble the wraps and adjust the lime and honey until it's exactly how you like it, that sauce can make or break the whole thing.
