Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken (cooked)
- 2 ripe avocados (diced)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup red onion (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
Optional Add-Ins
- Lettuce
- Sliced tomatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until combined while keeping some avocado chunks intact to retain texture.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the finely chopped red onion and fresh parsley to the mixture, enhancing the flavor and adding a fresh crunch.
- Warm the tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just enough to make them pliable and easy to roll without cracking.
- Assemble the wraps: Evenly distribute the chicken avocado mixture along the center of each tortilla. Add any optional toppings such as lettuce and sliced tomatoes if desired.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly into wraps. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- To keep the avocado from browning, toss it with lime juice right after dicing.
- Use cooked chicken from a rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with mayonnaise if preferred for a richer wrap.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or wraps.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
