Steps

1. 1

   Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, lime juice, and oil to a blender. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

2. 2

   Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and add 2–3 tablespoons of the prepared chipotle marinade. Mix well so the chicken is coated, then marinate for at least 1–2 hours.

3. 3

   Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, chipotle marinade, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix until the sauce is creamy and smooth.

4. 4

   Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.

5. 5

   When the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping the pieces midway, until cooked through.

6. 6

   Lay one tortilla wrap flat on a work surface. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of the creamy chipotle sauce evenly over it.

7. 7

   Add the shredded lettuce, cooked chicken, diced bell peppers, diced red onion, mixed cheese, and some additional chipotle sauce to the tortilla.

8. 8

   Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling.

9. 9

   Warm the wrapped tortilla on both sides for 2–3 minutes on a skillet or panini press, until crispy. Serve warm.

Notes

The source gives a 1–2 hour marinating time. It does not specify a chicken internal temperature; cook until the chicken is cooked through.
