7. 7

   Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, flipping the pieces occasionally, until cooked through.

   Lay one tortilla wrap flat on a work surface and spread 1-2 tablespoons of the chipotle sauce evenly over it.

   Add the shredded lettuce, cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and mixed cheese if using. Add some more chipotle sauce.
