(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through, and juices run clear.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado, tomato, and onion.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to soften.
To assemble the wraps, lay the tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the center (optional).
Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, sliced chicken, and avocado.
Roll up the tortilla, folding in the sides as you go, and slice in half for easy serving.

Variations

Add cheese: Shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or a spicy pepper jack cheese can enhance the flavor of your wrap.
Swap the protein: Use grilled shrimp, turkey, or even tofu as a substitute for the chicken.
Extra veggies: Add cucumbers, bell peppers, or corn for additional crunch and flavor.
Spicy kick: Add some sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, or a dash of chili flakes for some heat.
Make it low-carb: Use a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla for a low-carb alternative.

Storage/reheating

Storage: If you have leftovers, store the wrapped ingredients separately to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy. The chicken and veggies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The avocado will brown quickly, so it’s best to prepare that fresh.
Reheating: To reheat, warm the chicken in the microwave or on a skillet. Avoid reheating the avocado, as it won’t keep its texture. You can assemble the wrap again once the chicken is heated.
