Steps

1. 1

   Add the chipotle peppers, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth to make the marinade.

2. 2

   Measure 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 well 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 chopped parsley into the chipotle yogurt sauce.

7. 7

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

8. 8

   Place the 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 the number or size of tortillas, nor an exact chicken cooking time or internal temperature; cook the chicken until fully cooked through.
