Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed until creamy

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream if preferred)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for a tangy kick

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped for color and crunch

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped for added texture

1/4 cup green onions, sliced for a mild onion flavor

4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps for a healthier option

Lettuce leaves (such as romaine or spinach) for a fresh garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, creamy mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix together until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and flavorful chicken salad base.

    Incorporate the Vegetables: Carefully fold in the finely chopped red bell pepper, celery, and sliced green onions into the chicken salad mixture. Ensure all ingredients are well combined, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Center a few crisp lettuce leaves in the middle of the tortilla followed by a generous scoop of the avocado chicken salad mixture, spreading it evenly.

        Create the Wrap: Gently fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards to enclose the filling securely. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the wrap together.

          Serve and Enjoy: Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas. Once assembled, slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or wrap each in foil for a tasty meal on-the-go.
