What You’ll Need To Make This Salad Wrap
1. Greek Yogurt
I’ve always been a fan of Greek yogurt. It’s creamy, tangy, and packed with protein. In this recipe, it replaces the heavy mayo, making the salad lighter and healthier. Plus, it adds a subtle tanginess that balances the richness of the avocado.
2. Avocado
Avocado is my go-to for adding healthy fats and a creamy texture. It’s also a great source of fiber and potassium.
3. Chicken
I typically use leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but you can also use cooked chicken breasts or even canned chicken. It’s a great way to use up leftovers and add a protein boost to your meal.
4. Veggies
Celery and red onion add a refreshing crunch and a touch of sweetness to the salad. They also add essential vitamins and minerals.
5. Citrus
A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens up the flavors and adds a zesty note. It’s a simple touch that makes a big difference.
6. Fruits
Grapes add a touch of sweetness and a burst of juicy flavor. They’re also a good source of antioxidants.
7. Avocado Slices For Garnish
Sliced avocado makes a beautiful and delicious garnish. It adds a pop of color and a creamy texture to each bite.
8. Flour Tortillas
I love using flour tortillas to wrap up this salad. They’re soft and pliable, and they hold up well to the juicy filling.

Directions
- Start by scooping ripe avocado into a bowl. Using a fork, I mash it until it reaches a creamy consistency. Then, I stir in the Greek yogurt. This simple step creates the foundation for a delicious and healthy filling.
- Next, fold in the cooked chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and curry powder. I love the way these flavors come together to create a warm and comforting taste. I always add a little extra curry powder for an extra kick.
- Once the dry ingredients are combined, I add the fresh vegetables and fruit. The crisp celery, sweet onion, and juicy grapes add a crunch and sweetness to the salad. A squeeze of lime juice will enhance the flavors and add a refreshing tang.
- Now comes the fun part: assembling the wraps. I spread the chicken salad mixture onto flour tortillas and topped it with a few slices of avocado. Rolling up the tortillas is easy, and the avocado adds a creamy, buttery flavor to each bite.
- Leftovers? No problem! This salad stores well in the refrigerator for a few days. Simply reheat it in the microwave or enjoy it cold. It’s a perfect lunch or snack for busy days.

Tips To Keep The Chicken Juicy!

Tip # 3 – For a healthier twist
Use whole-wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of regular tortillas.
