Ingredients
  

2 large grilled chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 ripe avocado, mashed until creamy

1 cup roasted Hatch green chiles, chopped (adjust quantity based on spice tolerance)

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for a tangy flavor)

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce (for added crunch)

1 small tomato, diced (for freshness)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for herbaceous flavor)

Optional: ½ cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar for creaminess)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by grilling or pan-searing the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks, about 6-8 minutes per side. Once cooked, allow them to rest for a few minutes before dicing them into bite-sized pieces.

    Make the Avocado Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy mashed avocado, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix vigorously with a fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set this delicious avocado spread aside.

      Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, toss together the diced chicken, chopped Hatch green chiles, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), diced tomato, and fresh cilantro. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

        Assemble the Wraps: Place one tortilla on a clean and flat surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of the creamy avocado mixture in the center of the tortilla. Next, add a portion of the chicken and chili filling on top, followed by a handful of shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of cheese if you're using it.

          Roll the Wrap: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap, ensuring all the filling stays inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all wraps are assembled.

            Serve: For an elegant presentation, slice each wrap diagonally in half and place them on a serving platter. Serve alongside extra avocado spread or your favorite salsa for dipping!
