Variations
Sometimes I add crispy bacon for a BLT-style version or swap in grilled shrimp for a lighter twist. I’ve also used hummus instead of avocado for a Mediterranean spin. If I want extra crunch, I throw in some sliced cucumber or shredded carrots.
storage/reheating
I eat this wrap fresh, but it can be prepped ahead and stored wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 1 day. I don’t recommend reheating—it’s best served cold or at room temperature.
FAQs
Can I use canned chicken?
Yes, I’ve used canned chicken in a pinch. I just drain it well and season it to boost the flavor.
What type of tortilla works best?
I like using large, soft flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps—they hold up well and roll easily without cracking.
How do I keep the wrap from getting soggy?
I layer the greens on the bottom to create a barrier and keep the avocado from soaking through. If making ahead, I keep wet ingredients like tomatoes separate until serving.
Can I make it low-carb?
Yes, I use low-carb or lettuce wraps as a substitute for the tortilla.
What sauces pair well with it?
I love ranch, chipotle mayo, Caesar dressing, or even a little honey mustard for something tangy and sweet.
