Ingredients

Scale

Tortillas

  • 2 large tortillas (whole wheat, flour, or gluten-free)

Fillings

  • 1 cup cooked chicken (grilled, shredded, or rotisserie)
  • ½ cup lettuce, chopped
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)

Avocado Mixture

  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Mash Avocado: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Mix Dressing: Add Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Mix well until the avocado mixture becomes smooth and creamy, creating a flavorful spread.
  4. Prepare Tortilla: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate, ready for layering the ingredients.
  5. Spread Avocado Mixture: Spread a generous layer of the prepared avocado mixture evenly over the tortilla surface.
  6. Add Fillings: Evenly distribute cooked chicken, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top of the avocado spread.
  7. Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from one end to form a secure wrap.
  8. Slice Wrap: Use a sharp knife to cut the wrap in half for easy handling and serving.
  9. Serve or Store: Serve the wraps immediately for the best taste and texture, or wrap in foil for a convenient on-the-go meal.
  10. Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy your wrap with a side of fresh fruit, salad, or baked chips to complete your meal.
