Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 4 wraps
Ingredients
-
Chicken: 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great).
-
Avocado: 2 large avocados, sliced or cubed.
-
Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar or a Mexican blend.
-
Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas.
-
Herbs: 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped.
-
Creamy Base: 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess).
-
Cooking Oil: 1 teaspoon of butter or olive oil for browning the wraps.
Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, gently toss the shredded chicken with the chopped cilantro and the Greek yogurt/sour cream (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Assemble: Lay the tortillas flat. In the center of each, layer the ingredients in this order:
-
A sprinkle of cheese.
-
A generous portion of the chicken mixture.
-
3-4 slices of fresh avocado.
-
Another sprinkle of cheese (this helps “glue” the wrap together).
-
-
Fold: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito shape.
-
Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or oil. Place the wraps seam-side down first. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
-
Serve: Slice them in half diagonally to show off that beautiful green and gold filling, just like in your photo!
Tips for Success
-
Add Heat: If you like spice, add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce inside before rolling.
-
Prevent Browning: If you aren’t eating them immediately, squeeze a little lime juice over the avocado slices to keep them bright green.
-
Extra Crunch: You can add some finely diced red onion or bell peppers for added texture.
