    Chicken Avocado Wrap Ingredients

    • Avocado
    • Lemon Juice
    • Plain Greek Yogurt
    • Garlic Powder
    • Cooked Chicken
    • Monterey Jack Cheese
    • Salt
    • Black Pepper
    • Grape Tomatoes
    • Spinach
    • Spinach Tortillas

    Substitution Suggestions

    • Greek Yogurt: The Greek yogurt gives just the right amount of tang to the chicken avocado salad, but you can use sour cream or mayo or combination of both.
    • Cooked Chicken: Any leftover cooked chicken works well with this recipe. Another good option is canned chicken or even tuna would be delicious.
    • Monterey Jack Cheese: Use your favorite. I prefer Monterey because I really like how it pairs with the avocado.
    • Grape Tomatoes: Use your favorite veggies to add to the wrap. Thinly sliced or diced bell peppers, cucumbers, or carrots would be delicious.
    • Spinach: Spring greens, romaine or shredded iceberg lettuce would be yummy.
    • Spinach Tortillas: Any flavored or plain tortilla will work. For a lower card option you can use romaine or bib lettuce.

    FAQs About Healthy Chicken Avocado Wraps

    Is a chicken wrap healthy?

    Some are healthy, some are not. It will all depend on what you use for the wrap and what you add to the filling. Some wraps can be lower carb, higher in protein or made with whole grains making them a healthier option. Filling the wraps with veggies and Greek yogurt will keep the chicken wrap healthier as well.

    What do you eat with chicken wraps?

    I like to serve wraps with raw veggies and dip or a simple fruit salad. Tortilla chips or potato chips will pair well with chicken wraps too.

    What's a healthy wrap to eat?

    A healthy wrap would consist of a filling full of protein and veggies then wrapped with a tortilla that is whole grain.
