Whip up a delicious wrap with chicken, avocado, salsa, and mozzarella for an easy lunch or dinner.

Not particularly excited about the prospect of another sandwich for lunch today? Live a little and make these Grilled Avocado Chicken Wraps instead!

They crisp up a bit on the outside so you get that satisfying crunch when you take a bite. On the inside you’ll find chicken, salsa, mozzarella, and slices of avocado.

In the recipe card I explain how to quickly sauté flavorful chicken but you’re welcome to use any leftover chicken you have or simple shred a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.

This is a simple entree you’ll love. Perfect for lunch or a casual dinner!

For this recipe you’ll need (full list of ingredients and instructions are in the recipe card below):

  • Chicken breasts
  • Olive or avocado oil
  • Tortilla wraps
  • Salsa
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Avocado
  • Seasonings

Can you make these wraps in advance?

These wraps are best served immediately since the avocado will brown over time. If you’re wanting a make ahead wrap I recommend my Grilled Ranch Chicken Wraps instead.

How to serve these wraps

To keep things light, serve with fresh fruit or a side salad. To make this meal even more satiating, serve with chips or my Easy Diced Air Fryer Potatoes.

Instructions 

  • Add oil to a large skillet. Heat to medium high heat. Season the top of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Once oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. You should hear a sizzle. Sauté until each side has some browning and chicken is cooked through (juices should run clear), about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your chicken.
  • Remove from heat and allow the chicken to cool. Then slice each breast into strips.
  • Spread the flour tortillas onto a cutting board or baking sheet. Divide the salsa and spread down the center of each tortilla. Divide the shredded mozzarella down the center of each tortilla. Slice the avocado and add the slices to the center of each tortilla. Top the avocado with your cooked sliced chicken.
  • To wrap the tortillas: Carefully fold the bottom of the wrap up. Then fold in the sides over the filling.
  • To grill the tortillas: You should have some oil remaining in the skillet. If not, add more or use a cooking spray on the outside of the wraps so we can get them beautifully browned. Add the wraps seam side down to the same skillet you used to cook your chicken. Press down on them as they cook. Cook on medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping once, until the wrap is a golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve immediately with a side of salsa or sour cream.

    My daughter and her boyfriend made these for our dinner. Both of them are beginner cooks. The wraps were DELICIOUS!! So good, in fact, I woke up thinking about them. Can’t wait to have them again.

  4. Rachel says:

    This is a recipe I am adding to the cookbook!! The seasonings in the chicken are so good; it would be great by itself but combined with everything else is AMAZING. Definitely do the step of frying the wrap, I did in the leftover chicken oil and seasonings and it was beyond incredible.
