Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (substituting for mayonnaise provides a lighter option)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for a tangy kick

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for depth

1/2 teaspoon onion powder for sweetness

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved for sweetness and color

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped for crunch

1/4 cup celery, diced for added texture

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped for freshness

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce) for wraps

4 whole grain or spinach wraps for a nutritious base

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Base: In a medium bowl, scoop the flesh of the avocados using a spoon and mash it with a fork. Aim for a smooth consistency, but leave a few chunky bits for added texture, if you prefer.

    Mix the Chicken Salad: Into the mashed avocado, incorporate the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

      Add Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, diced celery, and freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Taste your mixture and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.

        Prepare the Wraps: Set out the whole grain or spinach wraps on a flat, clean surface. Place a large lettuce leaf in the center of each wrap; this adds a delightful crunch and freshness.

          Assemble the Wraps: Spoon a generous portion of the avocado chicken salad onto each lettuce leaf, ensuring not to overfill to avoid difficulty in rolling.

            Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling snugly. For easier handling, slice each wrap in half diagonally.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the wraps immediately for optimal freshness. Alternatively, wrap them in foil or parchment paper to enjoy as a delicious, portable lunch option.
