A quick and easy wrap combining creamy avocado spread with seasoned chicken and fresh veggies, perfect for a nourishing weight loss lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 10 oz / 300g) cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (or low-carb/gluten-free wraps)
  • 1 cup (about 5 oz / 150g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (about 1 oz / 30g) baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, season 2 medium chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Let cool slightly, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make the Avocado Spread: In a mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of 2 ripe avocados. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until smooth but still slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Prepare the Veggies: Halve 1 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly slice 1 medium cucumber, finely chop 1 small red onion (optional), and rinse 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens. Drain any excess water to avoid soggy wraps.
  4. Warm the Wraps: Gently warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more flexible.
  5. Assemble Your Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the avocado mixture evenly down the center. Layer on ½ cup of shredded chicken, followed by cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and spinach. Roll the wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Slice in half if desired.

Notes

Season chicken well before cooking for best flavor. Do not over-mash avocado to keep texture. Warm tortillas briefly to prevent cracking. Store assembled wraps tightly wrapped in parchment or foil in the fridge for up to 2 days; add fresh veggies just before eating to avoid sogginess. Use lime juice and plastic wrap pressed on avocado spread to prevent browning.
