Chicken Avocado Wrap
Wraps are a versatile and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed both on the go and at home. Our Chicken Avocado Wrap is perfect for those looking for a nutritious, easy-to-make lunch or light dinner. This recipe features tender grilled chicken, creamy avocado slices, crisp lettuce, and a hint of lime, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce or baby spinach
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing or your favorite sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
- On each tortilla, lay out the lettuce or spinach, then arrange the chicken strips, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese (if using).
- Drizzle with ranch dressing and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose all the ingredients.
- Cut the wrap in half on a diagonal and serve immediately, or wrap in foil to enjoy on the go.
Cooking Tip: For a healthier option, choose whole wheat tortillas and substitute ranch dressing with a Greek yogurt-based sauce or a low-fat vinaigrette.
