Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I prefer 3-4 chicken breasts for a family-sized batch; adjust according to your needs.
  • Fresh Avocados: Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed for optimal creaminess.
  • Tortilla Wraps: Opt for whole grain or spinach tortillas for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Mixed Greens: Use a combination of spinach and arugula for an exciting textural contrast.
  • Cherry Tomatoes: Halved cherry tomatoes add a sweet pop; choose vibrant ones for best flavor.
  • Greek Yogurt: This serves as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise and adds creaminess without guilt.
  • Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens the flavors and prevents browning in avocados.
  • Salt & Pepper: Essential seasonings that elevate all the flavors in your wrap.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill them on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through.

Slice the Chicken: Once done, let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips. This keeps it juicy!

Mash the Avocado: In a bowl, mash ripe avocados with lemon juice until creamy but still chunky. Add salt to taste; this step makes all the difference.

Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread Greek yogurt generously over each one before layering mixed greens, sliced chicken, mashed avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.

Roll It Up: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly from one end to another. Ensure all fillings stay securely inside; otherwise, it’s going to be messy (but delicious!).

Slice & Serve!: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for beautiful presentation. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later enjoyment; they hold up nicely!

Now you’re ready to enjoy your delightful Chicken Avocado Wraps! These are sure to impress at any gathering or simply make your day better with their deliciousness!
