03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

# Cooking Steps:

01 - Combine chipotle in adobo, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. 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 for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to improve pliability and ease of 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 in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade gives the chicken deep, smoky flavor without needing a grill or fancy equipment.
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for weeknights when youre too tired to think.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce balances the heat so well that even people who claim they dont like spicy food ask for seconds.
  • Everything can be prepped ahead, so assembly feels more like fun than work.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting step after cooking the chicken, cutting into it too soon lets all the juices run out and you'll end up with dry meat.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, they're probably too cold, warming them makes them pliable and way easier to work with.
  • Taste your chipotle in adobo before adding it, some brands are way spicier than others and you can always add more but you can't take it back.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, it takes the guesswork out and prevents overcooking.
  • If you're grilling outdoors, the charred edges on the chicken add an extra layer of smokiness that makes these wraps even better.
  • For a lower carb option, swap the tortilla for large lettuce leaves or a low carb wrap, the flavors are strong enough to stand on their own.
