Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce

Instructions
- Preheat the grill or skillet: Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat to get it ready for cooking the chicken.
- Season the chicken: Rub the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika to infuse it with bold, smoky flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Grill or cook the chicken breast for 6-7 minutes on each side until it is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and slice the chicken: Remove the chicken from heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes to retain its juices before slicing it thinly for the wrap.
- Prepare the avocado spread: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with Greek yogurt and lime juice until smooth and creamy, creating a tangy and rich spread.
- Assemble the tortillas: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface to begin layering the ingredients.
- Spread the avocado mixture: Evenly distribute the avocado spread over each tortilla, covering the surface to add creaminess and flavor.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Top the avocado with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese to give the wrap crunch and zest.
- Add sliced chicken: Place the sliced grilled chicken evenly over the layered ingredients to complete the filling.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the fillings and then roll tightly to secure all ingredients inside.
- Slice and serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling and a visually appealing presentation. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Chicken Avocado Wraps!
Notes
- Cook chicken thoroughly until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Use ripe avocado for a creamy, smooth spread.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients compared to white flour tortillas.
- This wrap can be customized with additional veggies like cucumber or bell peppers.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative and omit cheddar cheese.
