Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons (10g) taco seasoning
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) lime juice (approximately 1 medium lime)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt
- 4 large (10-inch/25cm) flour tortillas
- 1 cup (40g) fresh lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (80g) red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup (15g) fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Start by placing chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This ensures even cooking for your Grilled Avocado Chicken Wraps. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil and taco seasoning, then add chicken and coat thoroughly. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prep other ingredients, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Step 2: Grill the Chicken Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and nice grill marks appear. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips against the grain. This resting period allows juices to redistribute, ensuring your chicken stays moist.
- Step 3: Prepare the Avocado Spread While the chicken rests, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add lime juice and salt, then mash with a fork to your desired consistency—I prefer leaving some small chunks for texture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. This creamy spread forms the flavorful foundation of your Grilled Avocado Chicken Wraps.
- Step 4: Warm the Tortillas Quickly warm your tortillas to make them more pliable. Place them on the still-hot grill for about 10 seconds per side, or wrap the stack in damp paper towels and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel to stay warm while assembling.
- Step 5: Assemble Your Wraps Lay a warm tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture in the center, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with a quarter of the grilled chicken strips, followed by lettuce, bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go. For an extra touch, you can warm the seam side down briefly to seal your Grilled Avocado Chicken Wrap.
