# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 500g boneless chicken thighs
02 - 4 large tortilla wraps
03 - ½ cup Greek yogurt
04 - 2 cups cooked fried rice
05 - ½ cup corn kernels
06 - 1 small onion, diced
07 - 1 medium tomato, diced
08 - 1 cup lettuce, chopped
09 - 1 red bell pepper, diced

→ Chicken Marinade

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 1 teaspoon salt
12 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
13 - 1 tablespoon garlic powder
14 - 1 tablespoon paprika powder
15 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

→ Spicy Sauce

16 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
17 - 1 tablespoon Frank's hot sauce
18 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice. Add chicken thighs and coat well. For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator. If short on time, marinate for at least 30 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
03 - In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Frank's hot sauce, and chopped fresh parsley until smooth. Adjust the heat level by adding more hot sauce if desired.
04 - While chicken cooks, dice the onion, tomato, and red bell pepper. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Have the corn kernels and fried rice ready for assembly.
05 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of spicy sauce down the center. Add a portion of fried rice, a dollop of Greek yogurt, sliced chicken, and fresh vegetables. Distribute fillings evenly, leaving space at the edges for folding.
06 - Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Place seam-side down in a heated pan over low heat. Toast for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Marinating overnight gives the best flavor, but 30 minutes minimum will still add great taste
02 - Use leftover or pre-cooked fried rice to save time and add extra flavor
03 - Don't overfill the burritos or they'll be difficult to fold and may burst during toasting
04 - Greek yogurt adds protein and helps cool the spicy elements while keeping it healthy
