Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 large cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with lime juice, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt, and pepper. Mix well until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency.
- Spread the Mixture on Tortillas: Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the prepared avocado mixture down the center of each tortilla, creating a flavorful base for the wrap.
- Add the Fillings: Layer the sliced or shredded cooked chicken breasts over the avocado spread. Follow with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onions, and, if desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Add Fresh Cilantro: Optionally, place fresh cilantro leaves over the fillings to add a bright herbal note.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap, ensuring the fillings stay inside.
- Serve or Store: Slice each wrap in half for easier handling. Serve immediately for best freshness, or wrap individually in foil to enjoy later.
Notes
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for convenience.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the Greek yogurt/sour cream and cheddar cheese.
- Customize the wrap with other veggies like cucumber or bell peppers for extra crunch.
- To warm the wraps, lightly toast them in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side before filling.
- These wraps are best eaten fresh to maintain the texture of the avocado and vegetables.
