Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast sliced or shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika optional, for warmth
For the Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 2 ripe avocados sliced or mashed
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ small red onion thinly sliced (optional)
Optional Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the chicken
- If your chicken isn’t already cooked, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook until golden and cooked through, then slice or shred.
Make the sauce (optional)
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed.
Prep the vegetables
- Slice the avocado just before assembling to keep it fresh. Wash and dry the lettuce, halve the tomatoes, and slice the onion thinly.
Warm the tortillas
- Lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave so they’re soft and pliable.
Assemble the wraps
- Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of sauce if using. Add lettuce, chicken, avocado, tomatoes, and onion.
Wrap and serve
- Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes
📝 Notes
- Use grilled or rotisserie chicken for quick prep and best flavor.
- Ripe but firm avocados prevent the wrap from becoming mushy.
- Whole wheat or spinach tortillas add extra fiber.
- Add a squeeze of lemon or lime to keep avocado from browning.
- Greek yogurt or light mayo works well for a creamy sauce.
- Warm tortillas briefly to make rolling easier.
- Wrap tightly in foil or parchment for clean slicing.
- Best eaten fresh, but can be stored chilled for up to 24 hours.
