- Once grilled to perfection, remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips.
Assembly
- Lay your whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. Start with a layer of lettuce, followed by sliced chicken, diced tomatoes, avocado, and cheese if using.
- Tightly wrap the tortilla around the fillings, folding in the sides as you go. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- Slice the wrap in half, and it’s ready to be served!
Notes
Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can also freeze the filling before assembling the wraps for longer storage.
