Optional Garnish & Serving
Method
For the Chicken Marinade
- 1
Prepare and combine marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- 2
Marinate chicken
Trim excess fat from chicken thighs and cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch strips. Place chicken strips in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, massaging to coat evenly. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. If short on time, 15–20 minutes will still add flavor.

Cook chicken
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil (from the pantry) to the pan, then add marinated chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook 3–4 minutes without moving to get a sear, then stir and cook another 2–3 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and edges are golden. Remove cooked chicken to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
For the Yogurt-Lime Sauce
- 4
Mix sauce
While chicken rests, combine Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and taste; adjust salt or lime as needed. If you want a thinner sauce, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of water or milk.
For the Six Pack Assembly (vegetables & wraps)
- 5
- 6
Assemble each pack
Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of yogurt-lime sauce down the center. Add a small handful (about 1/3 cup) of romaine, a few cucumber slices, 3–4 tomato halves, a few red onion slices, 2–3 strips of cooked chicken (about 3 ounces), some shredded cheddar (about 2 tablespoons), and 2–3 thin avocado slices. Sprinkle with a pinch of chopped cilantro. Fold or roll the tortilla to enclose the filling. Repeat to make six packed wraps.

Optional finish
If you prefer a warm, pressed finish, place each assembled wrap seam-side down on a preheated skillet or panini press and cook 30–60 seconds per side until lightly browned and sealed. Slice each in half if desired.
For Serving
- 8
Arrange the six packed wraps on a platter, garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro. Serve remaining yogurt-lime sauce on the side and offer hot sauce for those who want extra heat.
