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

18 - 1 medium tomato, diced

# Cooking Directions:

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 thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
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 generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade does all the work while you chop vegetables and pretend to have your life together.
  • It tastes like something from a trendy lunch spot but costs a fraction and you can eat it in your pajamas.
  • Leftovers actually get better because the flavors keep mingling overnight in the fridge.
  • You can make the components ahead and assemble wraps in under three minutes when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Do not skip resting the chicken after cooking or you will end up with dry slices and a puddle of juice on your cutting board instead of inside the meat.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack and split the second you try to roll them, turning your beautiful wrap into a deconstructed mess.
  • If your avocado is too firm it will not spread or mash well, and if it is too soft it will turn into green mush, so aim for that perfect yielding ripeness.
03 -
  • Marinate the chicken the night before if you can, the flavors soak in deeper and the texture becomes even more tender.
  • Keep a damp kitchen towel over your assembled wraps if you are making several at once so they stay soft and do not dry out before serving.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender bites, it makes a bigger difference than you would think.
