# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The chipotle marinade does all the heavy lifting, giving you restaurant-level flavor with almost no effort.
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, so you can actually enjoy your evening.
  • The creamy yogurt sauce cools down the heat just enough to keep things interesting without overwhelming your taste buds.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble wraps in minutes when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • Don't skip marinating the chicken, even 15 minutes makes a noticeable difference in how the flavors penetrate the meat.
  • Resting the chicken after cooking is non-negotiable, cutting it too soon releases all the juices and leaves you with dry slices.
  • Warm your tortillas or they'll tear when you try to roll them, trust me on this one.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally, it's the most reliable way to avoid overcooking.
  • If you love extra heat, finely chop a fresh jalapeño and toss it in with the red onion for an added kick.
  • Leftover chicken makes an excellent topping for salads or grain bowls the next day.
