Description
Skip the heat! Our creamy, tangy Chicken Avocado Salad Roll Ups are built on fresh mashed avocado and lime, requiring only simple stirring. A low-carb, no-fuss meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (or wraps)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the two ripe avocados until they reach a chunky or mostly smooth consistency, depending on preference.
- Step 2: Stir in the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, garlic powder, cilantro, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Step 3: Fold the shredded chicken breast into the avocado mixture, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated to form a thick, creamy salad filling. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Step 4: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken avocado mixture down the center of each tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides.
- Step 5: Tightly roll each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you roll to keep the filling secure and create a firm log.
- Step 6: (Optional, for best results) Wrap the rolled tortillas individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before removing the wrap and slicing each roll-up into 1-inch thick pieces.
Notes
- Store leftover roll-ups tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to two days, noting that the filling is freshest and greenest within the first 24 hours.
- These wraps must be served completely chilled; never attempt to warm or microwave them, as the avocado base and tortilla texture will degrade rapidly.
- For a fresh, low-carb alternative, skip the tortillas and serve the creamy chicken filling stuffed into crisp butter lettuce cups.
- For the cleanest slices and firmest texture, ensure you refrigerate the wrapped rolls for the full 30 minutes to allow the avocado mixture to set before cutting.
