Smoky Chipotle Chicken Wrap (Printable Version)

Bold smoky chipotle chicken paired with avocado, crisp greens, and tangy yogurt sauce wrapped in a soft tortilla.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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 - ½ teaspoon ground cumin
07 - ½ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Greek Yogurt Sauce

09 - ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
10 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
11 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
12 - ½ teaspoon honey
13 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ 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)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine chipotle in adobo, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat thoroughly. Let marinate at least 15 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours for intensified flavor.
02 - Preheat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Allow to 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.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to enhance pliability.
05 - Layer shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato (if using) on each tortilla center. Drizzle with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt sauce is tangy and creamy without being heavy, and it takes about thirty seconds to make.
  • You can prep the chicken an hour ahead and cook it whenever you're hungry, making weeknight dinners feel less frantic.
  • It's genuinely high in protein but tastes indulgent, so you don't feel like you're eating "healthy" food.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting step for the chicken—those five minutes save you from a dry, chalky texture that no sauce can fix.
  • The Greek yogurt sauce needs lime juice to really sing; without it, it's just creamy and flat.
  • Layer the lettuce first against the tortilla so moisture from the other ingredients doesn't make it soggy before you even bite into it.
03 -
  • Char the tortillas lightly in a dry pan if you want more flavor—it adds a subtle toastiness that elevates the whole thing.
  • Slice your chicken against the grain, not with it; the difference in tenderness is completely noticeable and worth the extra thirty seconds of attention.
