Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or sauté raw seasoned chicken in olive oil until fully cooked. Shred or dice into small pieces. -
Make the Sauce:
Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. -
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds each side or microwave with damp paper towels for 20 seconds. -
Assemble the Wraps:
Spread 1 tbsp of yogurt sauce on each tortilla. Layer chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and cheese (if using) in the center.
-
Wrap It Up:
Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up. Optionally sear seam-side down in a pan for 30 seconds to seal.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prep all components up to 3 days in advance—just store them separately in airtight containers and assemble wraps when ready to eat.
- Tortilla Tip: Always warm your tortillas before assembling. This prevents cracking and improves flexibility for rolling. A quick 15–20 seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel works wonders.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with mashed avocado, dairy-free yogurt, or hummus for a creamy, plant-based twist.
- Low-Carb Option: Swap out tortillas for large lettuce leaves or collard green wraps to reduce carbs and boost your veggie intake.
- Add a Kick: Drizzle in a little sriracha or sprinkle red pepper flakes into the sauce for a spicy version of this recipe.
- Kid-Friendly Version: Skip the red onion and spicy seasonings, and let little ones build their own wraps with fun add-ins like shredded cheese, sliced cucumbers, or sweet corn.
- Storage Advice: Fully assembled wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in parchment in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, freeze wraps without tomatoes or avocado and reheat when needed.
