Equipment
- medium mixing bowl
- cutting board
- knife
- non-stick skillet or griddle
- spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
- 1/4 cup creamy sauce (mayo, sour cream, ranch, or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tsp oil or butter, for crisping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced avocado, shredded cheese, creamy sauce, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season lightly with salt and pepper and gently mix until evenly combined.
- Lay the tortillas flat and spoon the filling evenly down the center of each one. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into wraps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a little oil or butter. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the pan, slice in half if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time, and choose a ripe but firm avocado so it keeps its texture. These wraps are best served immediately, as avocado does not store well. Greek yogurt is a lighter sauce option, and whole-wheat or gluten-free tortillas can be used as needed.
