  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before dicing or shredding it.

  3. While the chicken rests, in a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped cilantro.

  4. If slicing, carefully cut the avocado into thin slices. If mashing, scoop the avocado into a small bowl and gently mash with a fork, adding a squeeze of lime juice to prevent browning.

  5. Warm the tortillas slightly according to package directions (this makes them more pliable). Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a layer of mashed avocado or arrange avocado slices down the center. Top with the diced or shredded grilled chicken. Drizzle generously with the cilantro-lime dressing. Add any optional toppings like red onion, tomatoes, or lettuce.
