Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded 🍗
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted 🥑
1/4 cup Greek yogurt 🥄
1 tbsp fresh lime juice 🍋
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped 🧅
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 🌿
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
8 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce work well) 🥬
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Salad
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. You can use a fork or potato masher to achieve the desired consistency.
Add Greek yogurt and lime juice to the mashed avocado and stir to combine. This creates a creamy base for the chicken salad with a zesty lime kick.
Step 2: Add the Ingredients
Fold in the shredded chicken, red onion, and cilantro. Mix everything together until the chicken is well-coated with the creamy avocado mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Spoon a portion of the avocado chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Use 1 or 2 leaves per wrap, depending on their size.
Wrap and roll the lettuce leaf to encase the filling, securing the wrap as you go.
