Chef's Note
For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. If you're short on time, even 15 minutes will add great flavor. To make these wraps more portable, wrap them tightly in parchment paper and secure with kitchen twine - they'll hold together perfectly for lunch on the go!

Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 each large whole wheat tortillas
3 large ripe avocados
1 tablespoon lime juice (for avocado)
1/2 medium red onion
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cups romaine lettuce
1/2 cup cilantro
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
8 slices bacon
1/2 cup chipotle mayo
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create a marinade.
- 2
Pound the 2 pounds of chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) and add them to the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
- 3
While the chicken marinates, cook 8 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, then chop into pieces.
- 4
Dice 1/2 red onion and halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes. Wash and chop 2 cups of romaine lettuce and 1/2 cup of cilantro.
- 5
In a small bowl, mash 3 large avocados with 1 tablespoon lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- 6
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 7
Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips against the grain.
- 8
Warm the 4 large whole wheat tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
- 9
To assemble each wrap, spread 2 tablespoons of chipotle mayo on each tortilla, followed by 1/4 of the mashed avocado mixture.
- 10
Divide the chicken strips, chopped bacon, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, cilantro, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese among the tortillas.
- 11
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
