Ingredients
Scale
For the Avocado Chicken Salad
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the mashed avocados, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, providing a flavorful base for the salad.
- Mix the salad ingredients: Add the shredded or diced chicken, finely diced red onion, chopped celery, chopped cilantro or parsley, salt, and black pepper to the avocado mixture. Gently fold everything together until well combined, taking care not to mash the chicken further.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce over the center of each tortilla, providing a fresh crunchy layer.
- Fill and roll: Spoon the avocado chicken salad mixture down the center of each tortilla on top of the lettuce. Roll the tortillas tightly from one side to the other to form wraps. Optionally, slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and presentation.
- Serve or store: Serve the wraps immediately for best freshness and texture. Alternatively, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, allowing flavors to meld for a chilled, convenient meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
- Add diced tomatoes or crumbled bacon for additional taste variety.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated tightly wrapped for up to 24 hours.
