In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn to coat, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomato and cucumber into thin slices, and pit and slice the avocado.
In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with lime juice and chopped cilantro to make a yogurt sauce. Mix well and set aside.
Once the chicken is grilled, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
To assemble the wraps, lay a whole wheat tortilla flat and place a lettuce leaf in the center. Top with sliced tomato, cucumber, avocado, and grilled chicken strips.
Drizzle with the cilantro-lime yogurt sauce.
Wrap the tortilla tightly around the fillings, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
