Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, prepare the chipotle dressing by combining the Greek yogurt, chipotle in adobo sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Shred the rested chicken using two forks and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add the chipotle dressing to the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30-60 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a small amount of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Top with the chipotle chicken salad, diced tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Add diced avocado if desired.
Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
