Why You’ll Love This Chicken Avocado Wrap

Let me tell you why this wrap is about to become your new obsession:

Crazy quick – Seriously, 10 minutes tops if you’ve got pre-cooked chicken! (I won’t judge if you use rotisserie chicken—I do it all the time)
Refreshingly light – That cool avocado and crisp lettuce make it perfect for hot summer days when you want something satisfying but not heavy <li <li
Meal prep magic – Wrapped tightly in foil, these stay fresh in the fridge for days (my secret work lunch hack!)
Healthy but doesn’t taste like ited withed with protein and good fats that’ll keep you full without that post-lunch slump
Endlessly customizable – Swap in whatever veggies you’ve got, add some heat with jalapeños, or go crazy with extra toppings

Honestly? It’s the kind of recipe you’ll find on repeat on repeat without getting bored. And isn’t that what we all want?

Ingredients for Chicken Avocado Wrap

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these dreamy wraps (and yes single single ingredient matters!):

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced thin (or about 1½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken if you’re smart and taking shortcuts)
1 ripe avocado, sliced just before assembling so it doesn’t brown
1 cup shredded lettuce – I like romaine for that perfect crunch
½ cup diced tomatoes – cherry tomatoes work great too if that’s what you’ve got
¼ cup sliced red onions – soak them in cold water for 5 minutes if you want to tame the bite
2 large whole wheat tortillas – the burrito-sized ones give you more rolling room
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or mayonnaise – I use Greek yogurt to keep it light but both are delicious
1 tsp lime juice – fresh squeezed makes all the difference
Salt and pepper – don’t skip seasoning every layer!

See? Nothing fancy – just fresh, simple ingredients that come together like magic.

How to Make Chicken Avocado Wrap

Okay, let’s get rolling—literally! This wrap couldn’t be easier to make, but I’ve got a few tricks to make sure yours turns out perfect every time. Follow these steps, and you’ll have lunch ready before you can say “avocado toast is overrated.”

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

First things first—that creamy sauce is what ties everything together. Grab a small bowl and mix your Greek yogurt (or mayo) with the lime juice. Now here’s my secret: season it generously with salt and pepper before spreading. Taste it! It should have a nice tang from the lime and enough seasoning to make your taste buds happy. Set this aside while you prep everything else.

Step 2: Assemble the Wrap

Lay your tortillas flat—I like to warm them for 10 seconds in the microwave first so they’re more pliable. Spread that delicious sauce evenly across each tortilla, leaving about an inch bare at the edges. Now layer your ingredients: start with chicken (this anchors everything), then avocado slices, followed by lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Pro tip: keep everything centered in a neat pile rather than scattering ingredients everywhere—it makes rolling way easier!

Step 3: Roll and Serve

Here’s where people usually mess up—but not you! Fold the sides of the tortilla in about an inch first, then roll tightly from the bottom up, using your fingers to tuck everything in as you go. Press gently as you roll to keep it compact. If you’re serving immediately, slice diagonally (because everything tastes better cut diagonally, right?). For meal prep, wrap tightly in foil—the pressure helps it hold its shape in the fridge.

See? Told you it was easy! Now go enjoy your masterpiece—you’ve earned it.

Tips for the Best Chicken Avocado Wrap

After making these wraps more times than I can count, I’ve picked up some game-changing tricks that take them from good to “oh-my-gosh-I-need-another-one” amazing:

Rotisserie chicken is your friend – Seriously, why cook chicken when the grocery store does it better? Just shred it while still warm—it blends with the avocado beautifully.
Spice it up! – A dash of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños adds the perfect kick. My husband always adds chipotle mayo—total game changer.
Foil is magic – Wrap these babies tightly in foil, not plastic wrap. It keeps them fresh for days and helps maintain that perfect rolled shape.
Avocado timing – Slice your avocado right before assembling to prevent browning. A quick spritz of lime juice helps too!

Trust me, these little tweaks make all the difference between a good wrap and a “why-didn’t-I-make-two?” wrap!

Variations for Your Chicken Avocado Wrap

One of the best things about this wrap? You can totally make it your own! Here are my favorite ways to mix it up when I’m feeling adventurous (or just the fridge the fridge):

Greens swap – Try baby spinach, arugula, or even shredded kale instead of lettuce for different textures
Bacon makes everything better – Because let’s be honest, crispy bacon takes this wrap to another level
ese pleaseese please! – Crumbled feta or shredded cheddar adds delicious richness
Southwest style – Black beans, corn, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning turn it into a fiesta

The possibilities are endless—what will first?</ first?

Serving Suggestions

This wrap practically begs to be served with something icy cold! I love pairing it with sparkling lemon water or an iced green tea—so refreshing on hot days. For heartier meals, add a simple side salad or some crispy sweet potato fries. The cool crunch of the wrap with something warm? *Chef’s kiss* perfection!

Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Here’s the best part—these wraps are meal prep gold! Wrap them tightly in foil (cling wrap makes them soggy) and they’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Need to reheat? Just 30 seconds in the microwave takes the chill off without making the tortilla rubbery. Pro tip: If you’re packing for lunch, keep a lime wedge in your container to spritz on the avocado right before eating—keeps it looking fresh!

Frequently Asked Questions

I get asked about these wraps all the time—here are the answers to the questions that pop up most often:

Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

Absolutely! Leftover Thanksgiving turkey works surprisingly well here (just chop it smaller). Rotisserie turkey from the deli counter is another great shortcut. The flavors pair beautifully with avocado!

How long do these wraps last in the fridge?

Wrapped tightly in foil, they stay fresh for 2-3 days. The avocado might darken slightly but still tastes great. Pro tip: If meal prepping, assemble everything except the avocado and add it fresh when ready to eat.

What’s the best way to keep the wrap from getting soggy?

Two tricks: 1) Pat your lettuce and tomatoes dry before adding, and 2) Spread your sauce right to the edges—it creates a moisture barrier. Also, don’t slice until you’re ready to eat!

Can I make these wraps ahead for a party?

Yes! Prep all ingredients separately and assemble an hour before serving. Keep them whole (don’t slice) and wrap in damp paper towels under foil—they’ll stay fresh and pliable.
