Ingredients
For the Chicken

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- to taste Salt and pepper
For the Wrap Assembly
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- ¼ cup your favorite sauce (ranch, chipotle mayo, or salsa)
- 4 large tortillas (whole wheat, spinach, or your favorite)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
Optional Toppings
- chopped tomatoes
- shredded lettuce
- red onion
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can also use a grill pan or regular skillet.
- 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 are evenly coated.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and 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 by brushing the cut side with lime juice and sprinkling with a pinch of salt.
- Grill the avocado halves, cut-side down, for 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear and they are slightly softened.
- Remove the avocado from the grill and let it cool slightly.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave briefly to make them pliable.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat, spread your favorite sauce evenly over it, and add a layer of shredded cheese.
- Top with sliced or shredded grilled chicken and a scoop of grilled avocado.
- Add optional toppings like chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or red onion.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom.
- Serve immediately. For extra crispiness, grill the assembled wraps for a minute or two on each side until lightly golden brown.
Notes
Make sure to marinate the chicken ahead of time for extra flavor. Use ripe avocados for the best creaminess. Get creative with toppings based on your preferences. For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños or hot sauce.
