Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded, sliced, or diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced or sliced
- ½ cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream, mayo, or your favorite sauce
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Filling. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with chopped cilantro and your choice of sauce (sour cream, mayo, or preferred sauce). Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with flavors.
- Add Avocado and Cheese. Gently fold in the diced or sliced avocado and shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese into the chicken mixture. Drizzle with lime or lemon juice to prevent the avocado from browning and add a tangy freshness.
- Warm the Tortillas. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable and slightly golden. This step makes wrapping easier and enhances flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps. Lay a warm tortilla flat and spoon an equal amount of the chicken-avocado mixture onto the center. Spread evenly but leave space at the edges for folding.
- Wrap it Up. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from one end to the other to secure the filling inside.
- Serve. Slice the wraps diagonally if desired and serve immediately. They make a great handheld meal or can be paired with a side salad or chips.
Notes
- If avocado is not ripe, soften it by mashing gently to make it easier to combine in the filling.
- You can substitute the chicken with turkey or a plant-based protein for a different twist.
- Adjust the sauce quantity to your taste preference for creaminess or tanginess.
- To add crunch, include shredded lettuce or sliced cucumbers inside the wrap.
- Wraps can be prepared ahead without avocado and assembled just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning.
