Crispy, cheesy, and healthy, these chicken and avocado wraps are easy to make and ready in under 10 minutes.
By now I’m going to assume you all know about my burrito obsession. It all started with me moving to Philly a few years back. There I was exposed to some of the most authentic Mexican food. I then began making it at home and next thing I knew, I was wrapping everything in a tortilla. I make breakfast burritos, baked burritos, and burrito bowls.
These chicken and avocado wraps are not really Mexican but they are one of our all time favorite meals and they are wrapped so I guess I can call them Tex-Mex. I shared the original recipe a few years back and it was a huge hit all over the internet, especially on pinterest. The recipe has been pinned over 1.8 million times! How awesome is that!
Because I get so many requests for this recipe I decided to share a few other ways we love to have these wraps. You can make these wraps as simple or as complicated as you want but let’s stick with the simple version for time’s sake. 
You can use any type of cooked chicken. Rotisserie, grilled, shredded, or pan seared chicken all work well. When I don’t have leftover chicken on hand I pan sear chicken breasts for a few minutes until tender.
After that combine the chicken with diced avocado (the ripper the better), cilantro, and sour cream. 
Next sprinkle some cheese on your tortillas and top with some of the chicken avocado mixture. 
Wrap without tucking in the ends. 
Crisp in a hot pan with a teaspoon of oil.
Serve with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Don’t forget to make extra and place them in the fridge or freezer for work tomorrow. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge and up to 3 weeks in the freezer.

If you have leftover and put in refrigerator, do you eat them cold the next day or warm them up. Thanks.
These were so good that I am going to make them again and freeze some. I love that they are healthy and my boys enjoyed them.

Love it, had some chicken left over from lunch. Subsituted cilantro with fresh parsley from my garden. Yummyy!
This was really good and was quick to make. I added some broccoli which really made it pop.
What type of seasoning did you put on the chicken? I’m learning how to cook but I don’t know much about seasoning.
Very good! The kids enjoyed it too!
What’s the best way to heat these up if you freeze some?

Hi, I was wondering what spice mix you use for the chicken? I’m also using yoghurt for lower fat result and substituting the cilantro by fresh basil.
How do you heat these up from the freezer? Thaw first? Straight into microwave?
You can put them straight into the microwave for a 2 mins, more or less depending on your microwave. I like to microwave for a minute then toast in toaster oven for another minute to get a nice crispy exterior.
I substituted Greek yogurt for an even healthier alternative to sour cream and added some chopped tomato for fun, and these turned out fantastic! Will definitely be making again.
Love this recipe! Made my second batch tonight and I keep craving them! I skipped the cilantro because I hate cilantro and they are still delicious:) thank you!
Wow these sound so good. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great but question: With the sour cream in the mix, when you reheat it, does it taste weird or is that the desired effect?
