# How-To Steps:

03 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and 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, red onion, and tomato in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle generously with Greek yogurt sauce.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Bold chipotle flavor without being overwhelming, just enough kick to keep things interesting.
  • Comes together in under 40 minutes, perfect for nights when takeout feels lazy but you're too tired for anything complicated.
  • Fresh and filling at the same time, the creamy yogurt sauce keeps everything balanced.
  • Easy to double or meal prep, the components hold up beautifully for next day lunches.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken after cooking, cutting it too soon makes all the juices run out and you'll end up with dry meat.
  • Warm your tortillas or they'll crack when you roll them, cold tortillas are the enemy of a good wrap.
  • Use ripe avocado but not overripe, it should slice cleanly without turning to mush in your hands.
03 -
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating so they cook evenly and don't dry out on the edges.
  • Let the chipotle marinade sit on the chicken for at least 15 minutes, but if you have two hours, the flavor becomes noticeably deeper.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain after it rests, it makes every bite more tender and easier to chew.
