Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 large tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely sliced
• 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

How to Make Chicken Avocado Wrap

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by shredding or dicing your cooked chicken. If you’re using leftover rotisserie chicken, this step is even easier. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix it with lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance its flavor.

Step 2: Assemble the Wrap

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the mashed avocado mixture onto the tortilla, leaving about an inch around the edges.

Step 3: Add the Fillings

Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the avocado layer. Then, add cherry tomatoes, red onion, romaine lettuce, and shredded cheese. Drizzle a little Greek yogurt or mayonnaise over the top for extra creaminess.

Step 4: Wrap It Up

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, just like you would a burrito. Make sure to tuck everything in so the filling doesn’t spill out.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in foil if you’re taking it on the go. Enjoy with a side of fresh fruit, chips, or a simple salad!

Helpful Tips

• Use a Warm Tortilla – Slightly warm your tortilla before assembling to make it more pliable and prevent it from tearing.
• Make It Spicy – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or drizzle some hot sauce into the wrap for a kick of heat.
• Go for Extra Crunch – Toss in some sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or even a handful of crushed tortilla chips for added texture.
• Meal Prep Friendly – If making ahead, store the filling separately and assemble just before eating to keep the wrap from getting soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this wrap ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the wrap just before eating to keep it fresh.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

If you’ve already made the wrap, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing, as the avocado may turn mushy.

Can I use a different protein?

Absolutely! Swap out the chicken for turkey, tofu, shrimp, or even beef strips.

How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?

To prevent sogginess, add moisture-rich ingredients (like tomatoes and avocado) in the middle of the wrap, away from the tortilla. You can also spread a thin layer of cheese or lettuce as a barrier before adding wet ingredients.
