Instructions
- Prepare the Guacamole Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe avocado with the plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will create a flavorful and healthy base for the filling.
- Combine with Chicken and Vegetables: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion until everything is evenly incorporated, ensuring each bite is packed with fresh taste and texture.
- Lay Out the Tortillas: Spread out the large flour tortillas on a clean surface for easy assembly and layering.
- Add Lettuce Layer: Distribute the shredded lettuce evenly over each tortilla to create a fresh, crisp base that contrasts with the creamy filling.
- Spoon and Distribute Filling: Spoon the guacamole chicken mixture over the lettuce layer on each tortilla, making sure to spread it out evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Roll Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap to secure all ingredients inside, ensuring the wrap holds together when eaten.
- Serve or Store: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for optimal freshness. Alternatively, wrap them in foil and refrigerate for later consumption, enjoying them chilled or warmed slightly in a pan as desired.
