Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 large cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 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
Wrap
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
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 thoroughly to create a smooth and creamy spread.
- Spread on Tortillas: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface and evenly spread the avocado mixture down the center of each tortilla to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Add the Fillings: Layer the sliced or shredded cooked chicken breast over the avocado spread, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese if using.
- Include Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the fillings if desired to add a fresh, aromatic note to your wraps.
- Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap, keeping all ingredients neatly encased.
- Slice and Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for optimal freshness, or wrap in foil for a convenient meal later.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast leftover from previous meals or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream or a vegan alternative for dietary preferences.
- For added flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cumin to the avocado spread.
- These wraps are best served fresh but can be stored wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- To keep the tortillas soft when storing, wrap them tightly to prevent drying out.
