A quick and easy 5-minute recipe combining creamy avocado with shredded chicken, fresh veggies, and zesty lime juice, wrapped in soft tortillas for a satisfying and portable lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream (dairy-free yogurt optional)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (avocado oil mayo optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large soft tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free options)
  • A handful of fresh greens like baby spinach or lettuce leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Shred or chop about 2 cups of cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Using rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut and adds extra flavor.
  2. In a mixing bowl, scoop out the ripe avocado and mash it with a fork or potato masher until creamy but still a little chunky.
  3. Stir in Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until combined and smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and diced red onion (if using). Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  5. Lay out tortillas or wraps on a flat surface. Add a layer of fresh baby spinach or lettuce if desired.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad down the center of each wrap. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to create a neat wrap.
  7. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for grab-and-go lunch. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice to prevent avocado browning. Mash avocado until creamy but still slightly chunky for best texture. Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent tearing. For low-carb, substitute tortillas with collard greens or large lettuce leaves. Avoid overmixing chicken to keep texture intact. Store leftovers in airtight containers and consume within 2 days.
