02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
04 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable and easy to fold.
05 - Spread a spoonful of sauce on each tortilla. Layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado slices, cheddar cheese, and sliced chicken. Top with cilantro if using.
06 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.
# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- The creamy spicy sauce ties everything together in ways that make every bite exciting
- These wraps come together in under 40 minutes but taste like something from a fancy cafe
- You can prep everything ahead and assemble them right before eating for ultimate freshness
02 -
- Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps all those juices inside instead of on your cutting board
- The sauce tastes better after it sits for 10 minutes, so make it first
- Dont overload the wraps or they become impossible to roll neatly
03 -
- Slice your avocado right before assembling to keep it from browning
- If your tortillas are cracking, wrap them in a damp towel and microwave for 20 seconds
