Ingredients
- Chicken Breast – 1, cooked and thinly sliced
- Large Flour Tortillas – 2
- Avocado – 1 ripe, sliced
- Lettuce – 1 cup, chopped
- Tomato – 1, diced
- Cucumber – ¼ cup, thinly sliced
- Red Onion – ¼ cup, thinly sliced
- Cheddar Cheese – ¼ cup, shredded
- Greek Yogurt – 2 tablespoons
- Lime Juice – 1 tablespoon
- Salt and Pepper – to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start with cooked chicken breast, whether it’s grilled, pan-seared, or roasted. Slice it into thin strips so it’s easy to layer into the wrap. Using leftover chicken works wonderfully here as well!
- Make the Creamy Lime Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt and lime juice, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. This tangy spread adds moisture and binds all the ingredients in the wrap, keeping every bite flavorful and balanced.
- Prep Your Veggies: Chop the lettuce, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the cucumber and red onion. Slicing the veggies thinly will help them fit neatly into the wrap and ensure you get a bit of each ingredient in every bite.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread about a tablespoon of the yogurt-lime mixture evenly on the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer with Ingredients: Start with a layer of chopped lettuce and then add the sliced chicken. Next, add the avocado slices, arranging them so you get some avocado in each bite. Sprinkle diced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and avocado.
- Roll It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling. This helps keep everything tucked neatly in the wrap, making it easier to eat on the go.
- Slice and Serve: For an easy-to-eat, cafe-style presentation, slice the wrap in half on a slight diagonal. Serve it up with a side of fresh fruit, a handful of chips, or some extra veggies for a balanced meal!
Notes
- Storage: If you want to store these wraps, assemble them without the avocado, as it can brown quickly. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Add fresh avocado right before eating.
