Helpful Tips

For an added twist, you can sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice over the filling before wrapping. If you’re looking to save time, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can also be used. For those who like a bit of heat, add a few slices of jalapeño or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, wrap each chicken & avocado wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can also be quickly warmed up in the microwave.

Pairings

These wraps pair wonderfully with a refreshing glass of iced tea or a light lemonade. For a complete meal, serve with a side of tortilla chips and salsa or a simple garden salad.
