Healthy & Delicious Chicken Wrap

Healthy & delicious chicken wrap became my post-workout obsession after a long gym session when I was craving something filling but not heavy. I had grilled chicken in the fridge and a ripe avocado sitting on the counter so I grabbed a tortilla and started layering. With crunchy lettuce and juicy tomatoes it came together in minutes and tasted like a reward I’d been waiting for all day.

What I love most is how this wrap hits all the right notes—fresh and creamy with that satisfying grilled flavor in every bite. Whether I’m packing it for lunch or eating it right away it always feels like a fresh homemade meal that leaves me energized not sluggish.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Grilled chicken breast – Juicy and lean protein that adds heartiness and flavor.
• Whole wheat or flour tortillas – Soft yet sturdy base to hold all the fresh fillings.
• Avocado – Creamy and rich it replaces heavy sauces beautifully.
• Romaine or green leaf lettuce – For crunch and a fresh bite.
• Tomatoes – Juicy and slightly sweet they brighten up the wrap.
• Olive oil and spices – Used to season the chicken with simple bold flavor.
• Lemon juice – Keeps the avocado fresh and adds zesty brightness.
• Salt and black pepper – To enhance the natural taste of each ingredient.
• Tools You’ll Need
• Grill pan or skillet – To cook the chicken and add that golden sear.
• Knife and cutting board – For slicing veggies and grilled chicken.
• Mixing bowl – To mash and season the avocado if you want a guacamole-style base.
• Tongs or spatula – Handy for flipping chicken while cooking.
• Spoon or spreader – To evenly layer mashed avocado or sauce on the tortilla.
• Nonstick pan – Optional for lightly toasting the finished wrap before serving.

Instructions

Step 1: Season and Grill the Chicken

I start by seasoning the chicken breasts with olive oil salt pepper and a sprinkle of garlic powder or paprika. I grill them over medium heat for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through then I set them aside to rest before slicing.

Step 2: Prep the Avocado and Veggies

I mash the avocado in a bowl and mix in lemon juice salt and a pinch of pepper. Then I wash and dry the lettuce and dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Warm the Tortilla

I like to warm the tortilla in a dry pan for about 30 seconds per side to make it easier to roll and to give it a slightly toasted flavor.

Step 4: Assemble the Wrap

I spread a layer of mashed avocado on the tortilla then I layer in the lettuce grilled chicken slices and diced tomatoes. I season lightly with extra pepper if needed.

Step 5: Roll and Slice

I fold in the sides then roll the wrap tightly from the bottom up. If I’m not eating it right away I wrap it in foil or parchment paper to keep everything together.

Tips

I sometimes add cucumber slices or shredded carrots for more crunch.

For extra flavor I like to add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or Greek yogurt dressing.

You can swap the chicken with grilled tofu or turkey for variation.

Ways to Serve

Pair with a side of fruit salad or veggie chips for a refreshing lunch.

Slice it in half and pack it in a lunchbox—it travels well.

Serve with a small bowl of soup for a light balanced dinner.
