Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 boneless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap Components
- 4 soft flour or whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup crisp lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced red onion
- 1 avocado or 1/2 cup guacamole
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack or cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chipotle Marinade: Blend chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create a smoky, zesty marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Coat the chicken breasts or thighs evenly with the chipotle marinade and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to absorb the bold flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken until fully cooked and nicely charred, then slice it thinly for easy wrapping.
- Prepare the Wrap Fillings: Wash and chop fresh veggies — lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and avocado — and arrange them for quick assembly.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay the tortilla flat, spread a layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt, add the sliced chipotle chicken, veggies, a handful of cheese if desired, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Roll and Serve: Fold the tortilla tightly, cut it in half if you like, and enjoy your spicy, flavorful Chipotle Chicken Wrap!
Notes
- Marinate longer: For deeper flavor, marinate chicken overnight in the fridge.
- Use fresh chipotle sauce: Homemade or high-quality canned chipotle in adobo enhances authenticity.
- Don’t overfill: Keep fillings balanced to avoid wrapping challenges and messy bites.
- Warm the tortillas: Gently heat wraps to make them pliable and easier to roll.
- Slice chicken thin: Thin slices ensure even flavor distribution and easier eating.
