02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6 to 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, fresh 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 increase pliability and warmth.
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 tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade creates a smoky depth that tastes like you spent hours grilling.
  • Everything comes together in about half an hour, making it perfect for busy evenings.
  • The creamy avocado and tangy yogurt sauce balance the heat beautifully.
  • It's satisfying and packed with protein, so you actually feel full after eating.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken, cutting it too soon will make all the juices run out and leave you with dry meat.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack when you try to roll them, a rookie mistake I made more than once.
  • If your chipotle tolerance is low, start with one tablespoon and taste the marinade before adding more.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that your chicken reaches 165 degrees F, it takes the guesswork out and guarantees juicy results.
  • If you want deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge, the chipotle will infuse every fiber.
  • Toast your tortillas with a little butter for a richer, slightly crispy wrap that holds up even better.
