Instructions
- Make the creamy spread: In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with lime juice, Greek yogurt or sour cream, salt, and pepper, stirring well to create a smooth and flavorful spread.
- Prepare tortillas: Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface and evenly spread the avocado mixture down the center of each tortilla.
- Add the fillings: Layer sliced or shredded cooked chicken breasts over the spread, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese if using.
- Add cilantro (optional): Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top of the layered ingredients to add a bright, herbaceous note.
- Wrap it up: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll up tightly from one end to form a compact wrap.
- Serve or store: Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil to keep for later consumption.
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
- For added crunch, consider adding sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- These wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add tomatoes right before eating to avoid sogginess.
- To warm the wraps, place them in a skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side or microwave for 30 seconds.
