Healthy Chicken Avocado Wraps
Making a healthy and delicious lunch has never been easier! These wraps are loaded with juicy chicken, creamy avocado, fresh veggies, and sharp cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a burrito-sized tortilla. Perfect for a quick meal, on-the-go snack, or picnic party!
Servings: 6 Wraps
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cooked and sliced
- 6 large burrito-sized tortillas
- 3 cups lettuce chopped
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups yellow sharp cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
Cook the Chicken
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Place the chicken in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5–7 minutes on one side.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165–170°F.
- Remove from the pan and let the chicken rest before slicing into thin strips.
Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the cooked chicken.
- Chop the lettuce, dice the tomato and avocado, and grate the cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a large tortilla flat on a plate.
Layer each tortilla with:
- ½ cup chopped lettuce
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- A few pieces of diced avocado
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- A few slices of grilled chicken
- ¼ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- Wrap the tortilla tightly, folding in the edges like an envelope to secure the filling.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Grill the Wraps
- Preheat a clean, dry pan over medium-high heat (no oil needed).
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Grill for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and grill the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and melted.
Notes
Grilled Wraps: Grilling adds a crispy texture that enhances the flavor.
Serving Suggestion: If making these for lunch, wrap them individually in foil or a resealable bag.
Filling Tips: Avoid overfilling the tortillas, as it makes them harder to wrap.
Chicken Options: Use grilled, pan-seared, shredded, rotisserie, or any pre-cooked chicken you have on hand.
Ingredient Variations: Add extras like peppers, onions, or bacon for more flavor.
Sour Cream Tip: Adding sour cream inside the wrap blends all the flavors in each bite, but it can also be served on the side.
Tortilla Alternatives: If using smaller tortillas, enjoy them taco-style instead of wrapping.
Storage Tips
Refrigeration: Store wraps in the fridge for a few hours. The cheese won’t stay melted, but they’ll still taste great. Avoid refrigerating overnight, as the lettuce may wilt and the avocado may brown.
