Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 ripe mango, diced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 red bell pepper, julienned

1 avocado, sliced

4 whole grain tortillas or wraps

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: your favorite hot sauce for a kick

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper.

      - Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.

        - Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

          Cook the Chicken:

            - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

              - Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.

                - Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

                  - Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

                    Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

                      - In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

                        - Stir well until smooth and creamy. For those who enjoy spice, you can add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.

                          Assemble the Wraps:

                            - Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface or plate.

                              - Spread a generous spoonful of the creamy yogurt sauce on each tortilla.

                                - Layer the sliced chicken, diced mango, chopped basil, red bell pepper, and avocado evenly across each wrap.

                                  Wrap and Serve:

                                    - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll from the bottom to form a tight wrap.

                                      - Slice the wraps in half diagonally and secure them with toothpicks if desired.

                                        - Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a portable meal on the go!
