Steps

1. 1

   Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend until the marinade is smooth.

2. 2

   Measure out and reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons of the blended marinade for the chipotle yogurt sauce.

3. 3

   Place the cubed chicken thighs in a bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, add the oil, and mix thoroughly so the pieces are evenly coated.

4. 4

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.

5. 5

   In a bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and reserved chipotle marinade. Mix well.

6. 6

   Stir the freshly chopped parsley into the chipotle yogurt sauce.

7. 7

   Assemble each wrap by placing chicken, mozzarella cheese, chipotle yogurt sauce, red onion, mixed bell peppers, and Romaine lettuce inside a tortilla.

8. 8

   Place each assembled wrap on a warm skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

9. 9

   Serve the wraps hot.

Notes

Adjust the heat by using more or fewer chipotle peppers. The source does not specify an exact chicken cooking time or internal temperature; cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
