Equipment
- Grill
- Small bowl
- Grill pan (optional)
- skillet (optional)
- Meat thermometer
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Spatula
- Dry skillet or microwave (for warming tortillas)
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Pinch of salt
- 4 large tortillas whole wheat, spinach, or your favorite
- ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
- ¼ cup your favorite sauce ranch, chipotle mayo, or salsa
- Optional toppings: chopped tomatoes
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce
- Optional toppings: red onion
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, a grill pan or even a regular skillet will work just fine.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the chicken breasts with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding.
- While the chicken is resting, prepare the avocado. Gently brush the cut side of each avocado half with lime juice and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Place the avocado halves, cut-side down, on the grill.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the avocado is slightly softened.
- Remove the avocado from the grill and let it cool slightly.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread your favorite sauce evenly over the tortilla.
- Add a layer of shredded cheese.
- Top with sliced or shredded grilled chicken and a scoop of grilled avocado.
- Add any optional toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or red onion.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom.
- Serve your Grilled Avocado Chicken Wraps immediately.
- For a little extra crispiness, you can grill the assembled wraps for a minute or two on each side, until they're lightly golden brown.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken beforehand. To prevent soggy wraps, use a light hand with the sauce and don't overfill the tortilla. Spice it up by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning or use a spicy chipotle mayo. For a Mediterranean twist, use feta cheese, olives, and a lemon-herb dressing.
