04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

15 - 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
16 - 2 cups shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce

18 - 1 medium tomato, diced

# How-To Steps:

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 in the refrigerator 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. 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 to enhance pliability and prevent tearing during 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 of each tortilla and roll up tightly to seal. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It delivers bold smoky flavor without needing a grill or hours of marinating time.
  • The creamy Greek yogurt sauce balances the heat perfectly and feels lighter than mayo or sour cream.
  • Everything comes together in about half an hour, making it ideal for busy weeknights.
  • You can easily double the batch and meal prep the chicken for quick lunches all week.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken after cooking, or all the juices will run out when you slice it and the meat will be dry.
  • Warm your tortillas before assembling or they'll crack and tear when you try to roll them up.
  • If your chipotle in adobo is too chunky, blend it smooth first so the marinade coats the chicken evenly.
03 -
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating so they cook evenly and don't dry out.
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, the high heat gives the chicken beautiful charred edges that add even more flavor.
  • Let the assembled wraps sit seam side down for a minute before slicing so they hold together better.
