Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 large cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
1 ripe avocado, mashed
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 medium tomato, diced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
Directions
In a small bowl, I mix the mashed avocado with lime juice, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt, and pepper to create a creamy spread.
I lay out the tortillas and spread the avocado mixture evenly down the center of each one.
Then, I layer on the sliced chicken, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and cheddar cheese.
If I want an herby kick, I toss in a few fresh cilantro leaves.
I fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a neat wrap.
I either slice it in half and enjoy right away or wrap it in foil to take with me.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 4 wraps and takes only 10 minutes from start to finish—no cooking required. Each wrap contains approximately 350 kcal, making it a well-balanced and satisfying meal for lunch or dinner.
Variations
I sometimes use grilled turkey or rotisserie chicken instead of plain chicken breasts for a smoky flavor.
To make it vegetarian, I swap the chicken for black beans or roasted chickpeas.
When I’m in the mood for spice, I add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the avocado spread.
For a Mediterranean twist, I throw in some chopped cucumbers and feta cheese.
If I want extra crunch, I add shredded carrots or sliced bell peppers.
Storage/Reheating
I usually store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the wraps are already assembled, I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for best freshness. Since they’re meant to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature, there’s no reheating necessary.

FAQs
How do I keep the avocado from browning in the wrap?
I make sure to add lime juice to the mashed avocado—it helps slow down oxidation and keeps it green longer. Wrapping the wrap tightly in foil also limits air exposure.
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes, I often prep the components a day in advance and assemble the wraps just before eating. If I need to assemble ahead, I eat them within 24 hours for best texture and flavor.
What’s the best chicken to use for this recipe?
I use grilled or roasted chicken breasts, but leftover rotisserie chicken works great too. Just make sure it’s seasoned and not overly saucy.
Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
I wouldn’t recommend freezing them once assembled because the veggies and avocado can turn mushy. But I can freeze the cooked chicken for future use.
Can I use flour tortillas instead of whole wheat?
Absolutely. I switch between whole wheat and regular flour tortillas depending on what I have on hand or my taste preference that day.
Conclusion
This Avocado Chicken Wrap is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a nutritious and delicious meal without spending much time in the kitchen. It’s customizable, portable, and packed with flavor. Whether I’m feeding a hungry family or just looking for a quick solo lunch, this recipe always hits the spot.
