# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade does all the heavy lifting, transforming plain chicken into something you'd pay extra for at a cafe.
  • Everything comes together in about half an hour, but it tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cools down the heat just enough to keep you reaching for another bite.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps in minutes when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken after cooking, the first time I sliced it immediately, all the juices ran out and the meat turned dry.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack and split when you try to fold them, trust me, I've torn more than I care to admit.
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it just enough, but watch it closely.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken, it takes the guesswork out and guarantees juicy results every time.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, set up a wrap station and let everyone build their own, it turns dinner into something interactive and fun.
  • A light brush of olive oil on the tortilla before warming adds a subtle richness and helps it brown slightly for extra flavor.
