# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin powder, onion powder, lime juice, and salt. Add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for desired spice level. Drizzle olive oil and mix to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, reserved adobo sauce, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste.
04 -
Lay each tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, chicken, red onion, bell peppers, and shredded cheese. Drizzle with chipotle yogurt sauce. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to seal the wrap.
05 -
Serve the wraps immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a portable meal.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Chicken thighs are juicier and more tender, but chicken breast can be used if careful not to overcook.
02 -
Chipotle peppers add heat and smokiness; adjust the number of peppers for your desired spice level.
03 -
Use warm flour tortillas for best rolling results; corn tortillas may crack unless warmed well first.
04 -
For meal prep, store the sauce and lettuce separately to avoid sogginess.
05 -
Reheat assembled wraps in a dry pan for 1 minute on each side for freshness.
