# How to Make It:

02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, fresh cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado slices, red onion, and diced tomato in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade gives the chicken a deep, smoky kick that tastes like it came off a charcoal grill.
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
  • The cool, tangy yogurt sauce balances the heat in a way that feels refreshing, not heavy.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps in minutes when hunger strikes.
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 every single time, cold tortillas crack and fall apart the moment you try to roll them.
  • If your avocado is too firm, it won't spread or mash easily, so make sure it gives slightly when you press it.
03 -
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating so they cook evenly and don't dry out on the edges.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken against the grain, this keeps it tender and easy to bite through.
  • If you want more heat, leave some seeds in the chipotle peppers or add a dash of hot sauce to the yogurt sauce.
