# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The marinade does all the heavy lifting, so the chicken tastes bold without any fuss.
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, perfect for a weeknight dinner that doesn't feel rushed.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cuts through the smoky heat in a way that makes every bite balanced and bright.
  • You can prep the components ahead and assemble wraps throughout the week without losing any freshness.
02 -
  • Don't skip resting the chicken after cooking, it keeps the juices inside so every slice stays moist and flavorful.
  • Warming the tortillas is essential, cold tortillas crack and tear when you try to roll them, and no one wants a wrap that falls apart.
  • If you're sensitive to heat, scrape out some of the adobo sauce from the chipotles and use just the peppers for smokiness without as much spice.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken, it takes the guesswork out and ensures perfectly cooked, juicy meat every time.
  • For a smokier flavor, char the chicken on a grill instead of a skillet, the extra char adds depth that makes the wraps even better.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try steaming them briefly in a covered pan with a splash of water, the steam makes them super pliable.
