# Directions:

04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
05 - Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, avocado, red onion, and tomato in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with Greek yogurt sauce.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, even if you're moving slowly.
  • The chipotle marinade does all the heavy lifting for flavor.
  • It's messy in the best way, with creamy avocado and tangy sauce in every bite.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps whenever hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken, or all those juices will end up on your cutting board instead of in the wrap.
  • Warm tortillas are the difference between a wrap that holds together and one that splits down the middle halfway through eating.
  • If your avocado isn't ripe, don't force it, just add extra yogurt sauce or a handful of shredded cheese instead.
03 -
  • Slice the chicken while it's still slightly warm so it stays tender and doesn't dry out as it cools.
  • If you're making these ahead, wrap each one tightly in foil or parchment to keep everything in place until you're ready to eat.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime over the finished wrap right before serving wakes up all the flavors and adds a bright, zesty finish.
