Recipe yields 4 servings
In a medium bowl, mix the avocado and lime juice.
On a flat surface, arrange the tortillas. Spread 1/4 of the mashed avocado down the center of each tortilla.
Arrange the red onion, bell pepper, spinach leaves, cucumber slices and chicken breast on the tortilla. Season with black pepper.
Roll up, slice in half and serve.
To turn this wrap into a complete meal, pair it with a light, fiber-forward side dish. For a cool and crunchy pairing, our dense bean salad adds a boost of plant-based protein. On cooler days, a bowl of Tuscan White Bean Soup provides a warm, savory balance to the fresh wrap.
Swap the chicken for sliced turkey breast, canned tuna (in water), or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
If you don't have avocado, try using plain non-fat Greek yogurt mixed with a little Dijon mustard for a protein-packed spread.
Use large collard green leaves or butter lettuce as a gluten-free, grain-free wrap alternative.
Feel free to add shredded carrots, sprouts, or thinly sliced radishes for extra crunch.
