Ingredients
- Cooked Chicken, shredded or diced
- Ripe Avocado
- Large Tortillas, flour or whole wheat
- Fresh Veggies, bell peppers, lettuce, or cucumbers
- Lime Juice, fresh
- Greek Yogurt or Hummus
Instructions
- Shred Your Chicken.
- If using leftover chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- If you need to cook chicken, season it with salt and pepper, then grill or sauté it until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Allow it to cool slightly before shredding.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit.
- Scoop the creamy green goodness into a bowl.
- Use a fork to mash it gently, creating the perfect spreadable texture.
- Add a generous squeeze of lime juice to prevent browning and enhance the flavor.
- Grab your trusty knife and slice bell peppers, cucumbers, or any crunchy veggies you fancy.
- Keep them thin so they won’t disrupt the wrap’s harmonious balance.
- Take a tortilla and lay it flat on a surface.
- Spread a layer of mashed avocado on it, leaving about an inch of space on the edges.
- Add a layer of shredded chicken.
- Top it with those gorgeous veggie slices.
- Spread a dollop of Greek yogurt or hummus for that extra creaminess.
- Use both hands to fold the sides of the tortilla inwards.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Chicken Avocado Wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If possible, keep the ingredients separate until ready to eat to maintain freshness and texture, especially the avocado and yogurt/hummus.
Reheating: If you prefer your wrap warm, gently reheat it in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave, as it may make the tortilla soggy.
Serving: Serve Chicken Avocado Wraps with a side of fresh salsa or a light salad for a complete meal. They can also be cut in half and served as appetizers or snacks for gatherings.
Chef’s Tip: To elevate flavor, consider adding spices such as cumin or paprika to the shredded chicken before cooking. Additionally, experimenting with different fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can brighten up the wrap.
