- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne, olive oil, and lime juice. Toss shrimp in the mixture until evenly coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice, honey, chipotle puree, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft.
- Spread chipotle sauce over each tortilla, then layer with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado slices.
- Add shrimp to each wrap, drizzle with extra sauce if desired, then roll into wraps.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by changing the amount of cayenne and chipotle puree.
- Store components separately for meal prep and assemble just before eating.
- Grill shrimp instead of pan-searing for extra flavor.
- Swap mayo for Greek yogurt in the sauce for a lighter version.
- Wraps can be made low-carb by using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.
