It’s suitable for lunch or a light dinner and very kid‑friendly.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Cooked chicken (shredded, sliced or diced)
Ripe avocado, diced or sliced
Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (or your favourite cheese)
Sour cream, mayonnaise, or your favourite sauce
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Fresh lime or lemon juice
Large flour tortillas (or your preferred wrap)
A bit of oil for pan‑frying

Directions

In a medium bowl combine the cooked chicken, cheese, avocado, sour cream (or your chosen sauce), chopped cilantro and lime (or lemon) juice.
Lay a tortilla flat, spoon some of the mixture onto it, and wrap it tightly into a roll. Repeat for all tortillas.
Heat about 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan or griddle over medium‑high heat. Place the wrapped tortillas in the hot pan and cook for about 1‑2 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook another minute or until the other side is golden.
Serve warm. You may pair with salsa or your favourite dipping sauce.

Variations

Use a whole‑grain or gluten‑free tortilla for a different dietary need.
Swap in a spicy cheese (like pepper jack) or a Mexican‑blend shredded cheese for a kick.
Add extra vegetables: chopped tomato, shredded lettuce, roasted peppers or broccoli for more colour and nutrition.
Try different sauces: chipotle mayo, ranch, a yogurt‑based sauce, or even a salsa spread inside for added flavour.
Make it vegetarian by replacing the chicken with roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu.

Storage/Reheating

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, because avocado tends to brown and the tortilla stays crisp when newly cooked.
If you do make ahead or have leftovers: refrigerate the wrapped tortillas in an airtight container.
To reheat: microwave for about a minute (depending on your microwave), then optionally toast in a toaster oven or pan for 1 minute to restore some crispness.

FAQs

What kind of cooked chicken works best?

You can use rotisserie, grilled, shredded or pan‑seared cooked chicken. Any will work as long as it’s seasoned and ready to go.

Can I use something other than sour cream for the sauce?

Yes — mayonnaise, ranch dressing, yogurt‑based sauce or your favourite dipping sauce work just fine.

How do I pick a good avocado?

Choose an avocado that is ripe but not overly mushy — one that gives slightly when gently pressed. This ensures the filling is creamy but holds up in the wrap.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time or for meal prep?

You can assemble them, but because the avocado may brown and the tortilla may lose crispness, it’s best to eat them within a few hours. Avoid making the filling more than 6 hours in advance.

Can I freeze these wraps?

While you can freeze them, the texture of the avocado and the tortilla crisp will change. If you freeze, wrap tightly, then when reheating, microwave then toast to restore some crispness.

What sides go well with these wraps?

Great options include French fries, potato wedges, onion rings, chips and salsa, corn on the cob, or a fresh corn‑tomato‑avocado salad.

What if I don’t have cilantro or I dislike it?

No problem — you can substitute fresh parsley or basil, or omit it altogether. The wrap will still be delicious.

Can I make these gluten‑free?

Yes — just use a gluten‑free tortilla in place of a regular one.

How many calories are in one wrap?

Approximately 386 calories per wrap when using the listed ingredients.

What temperature and pan should I use for cooking the wraps?

Use medium‑high heat in a pan or griddle with a teaspoon of oil. Cook about 1‑2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
