- 15 low-carb mini wraps

- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp salt

- 200 g plain yogurt
- 100 g light mayonnaise
- 100 g chili-lime hot sauce
Instructions
- Toss the cubed chicken thighs and breast with salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, parsley, cumin, and olive oil until evenly coated, then rest for 10 minutes.
- Mix the tomatoes, red onion, white onion, green bell pepper, coriander, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then chill while the chicken bakes.
- Stir together the yogurt, light mayonnaise, chili-lime hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and enough milk to make a smooth, pourable sauce.
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment, spray lightly with avocado oil, and spread the chicken in an even layer.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Remove the chicken, then stir a little paprika into the pan juices and briefly dip each wrap in the juices to coat.
- Fill each wrap with chicken and mozzarella, fold tightly, and bake at 370°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and browned.
- Serve hot with the pico and spicy taco sauce, or cool and refrigerate for meal prep.
