The base of the marinade is roasted habanero chiles for heat and juice from cara cara oranges to complement the citrus notes of habanero and corriander. Cara cara oranges are very sweet. You can substitute blood oranges if you can't find cara cara oranges. The homemade, fire roasted salsa verde and ranch make a smoky difference but I guess you could use the jarred stuff if you HAD to.

Whisk together marinade ingredients. Place chicken cutlets in a Glad zip top bag, cover with marinade, seal and refrigerate for 4 hours. Preheat a charcoal grill to high. Remove cutlets from marinade. Season with salt and pepper to taste and grill until the internal temperature reaches 160f, about 2-4 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of your cutlets). Remove and slice into thin strips. On each wrap, place 1 lettuce leaf, thin sliced tomato, one fourth of the chicken, and cheese. Top with a heaping tablespoon of the salsa verde and a tablespoon of the chile ranch dressing. Roll up burrito style (roll bottom third up, covering the filling, then tuck in the sides, and then continue rolling up into a cylinder). Slice each wrap in half and serve with extra ranch and salsa verde as desired. TIP: Habaneros are small and a pain to char stove top because you can set them on a gas burner like you can a larger bell or poblano chile. A grilling basket over the burner makes it easy. The salsa verde I do is roughly 1.5 pounds peeled tomatillo, 2 jalapenos, 1/2 white onion, 2 green onion, 1 habanero and 3 cloves garlic. Char it all for about 5 minutes, turning until all sides black. De-seed and peel the chiles. Chop it all up in a blender, season with salt, cumin, and pepper and then simmer until thickened.
