03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until pliable.
05 - Spread sauce evenly across each tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, red onion slices, avocado, cheddar cheese, and sliced chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
06 - Fold in both sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from bottom to top. Slice wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.
