These chicken avocado wraps are the perfect easy and quick lunch. Easy-to-find ingredients and low prep time.
Let’s talk about my favorite types of recipes for every day: easy and healthy. I hate the feeling that eating healthy has to be a struggle and even worse… boring.
Since I started my “healthy-ish journey” a year ago to lower blood pressure naturally — spoiler: I did it 🙂 —, my creativity in the kitchen increased by 100%. I just had to come up with new ideas for ingredients that I usually find plain.

Using some grilled chicken leftovers I can make 2 or 3 of these fresh and delicious chicken avocado
You can pack almost any type of green that you enjoy. I had some baby spinach and that’s what I decided to use, but you can use kale, lettuce, watercress, microgreens, etc.

How to assemble this chicken avocado wrap?
This is the easiest part of the recipe. It will take you a couple of minutes to assemble the wraps once you have the chicken done.
I like to spread the garlic and cilantro sauce over the tortillas. Then, cover with a handful of spinach (previously washed), top with diced chicken, diced avocado, and finally grated cheese.

Can I take this wraps to my job?
Yes.

Then, in your workplace, you can microwave the chicken — it’s not completely necessary —- and assemble the wraps. This way they won’t be soggy.
