Ingredients Needed for This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe

• Cooked Chicken: 2 cups, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• Avocado: 2 ripe avocados, mashed
• Greek Yogurt: 1/4 cup (or mayonnaise)
• Lime Juice: 1 tablespoon, fresh
• Red Onion: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
• Salt and Pepper: To taste
• Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili Powder: 1/4 teaspoon (optional, for a little kick)
• Tortillas: 4 large tortillas (we prefer whole wheat or spinach)

How to Make This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe

1. 1. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped red onion, and cilantro.

1. 2. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

1. 3. Add the shredded cooked chicken to the avocado mixture and stir until well combined; now you have your creamy chicken avocado wrap filling. For more chicken flavor, try this recipe for Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken and repurpose leftovers into the wraps! That recipe is so flavorful.

1. 4. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable (optional). You can do this in a dry skillet for a few seconds per side.

1. 5. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken avocado mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.

1. 6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

1. 7. Cut the Chicken Avocado Wrap in half and serve immediately. For a delightful appetizer before your wrap, try our Chunky Avocado Corn Salsa and tortilla chips!

How to Serve This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe

How to Store This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe

*If you have any leftovers on these protein wrap recipes, follow these simple instructions.*

• Refrigeration: Store assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be aware that the avocado may brown slightly.

• Freezing: We do not recommend freezing assembled wraps, as the tortillas may become soggy.

• Reheating: If refrigerated, you can eat the wraps cold or warm them up slightly in a microwave or skillet.

Tips to Make This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe

• Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are essential for a creamy and flavorful wrap.

• Don’t overfill: Overfilling the tortilla will make it difficult to roll and may cause it to tear.

• Warm the tortillas: Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents them from cracking.

• Add a little heat: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce for a little extra kick.

• Customize it: Feel free to get creative and add other ingredients like cheese, tomatoes, or sprouts. For another zesty chicken recipe, try our Pesto Chicken Caprese Skewers to add a twist of Italian flair to your lunches by repurposing any leftovers!

Helpful Notes for This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe

• If you don’t have Greek yogurt, mayonnaise works perfectly as a substitute. You can also experiment with different types of yogurt for various flavor profiles.

• Adjust the amount of lime juice and seasonings to suit your personal taste preferences.

• For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with black beans, chickpeas, or tofu.

Variation of This Chicken Avocado Wrap Recipe
