Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Unripe avocados will be hard and green, while overripe avocados will be mushy and brown.
- If you don't have a grill, you can roast the chicken in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- To make the wraps ahead of time, cook the chicken and avocado mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the chicken and avocado mixture and assemble the wraps.
- For a healthier wrap, use whole-wheat tortillas and load them up with fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- If you're looking for a more flavorful wrap, try adding some crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or diced red onion.
