Steps

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons of the blended marinade for the chipotle yogurt sauce.

3. 3

   Place the cubed chicken thighs in a bowl and pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.

4. 4

   Add the oil, garlic powder, and onion powder to the chicken. Mix thoroughly so the chicken is evenly coated.

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Stir the freshly chopped parsley into the chipotle yogurt sauce.

8. 8

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

9. 9

   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.

10. 10

    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.
