Wrapped in a soft gluten-free tortilla and finished with a zesty lime-yogurt dressing, it’s a high-protein meal that comes together in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
— The Fillings —
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced (or 2 cups rotisserie chicken)
4 large gluten-free tortillas (burrito size works best)
2 ripe avocados, sliced or slightly mashed
2 cups Romaine lettuce or baby spinach, chopped
1 large tomato, diced (or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved)
½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
— The Creamy Lime Dressing —
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayo), lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the gluten-free tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10–15 seconds per side, or microwave them for 20 seconds. This makes them pliable and prevents cracking when rolling.
3. Layer the Base: Lay the warm tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a tablespoon of the creamy dressing down the center of each tortilla.
4. Add Fillings: Layer the chopped lettuce, chicken slices, tomato, red onion, and cheese on top of the sauce. Top with the fresh avocado slices.
5. Roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom like a burrito. Use a toothpick to secure it if needed.
6. Serve or Grill: You can serve the wraps cold immediately. Alternatively, place the rolled wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet with a little oil and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Slice: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and enjoy!
Notes
Tortillas: Gluten-free tortillas can be brittle. Warming them before rolling is the key to preventing them from breaking.
Chicken: You can grill your own chicken breasts with taco seasoning or simple salt and pepper, or use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free cheese and mayonnaise or a plant-based yogurt for the dressing.
Meal Prep: If making ahead, wrap the tortillas tightly in foil or parchment paper. Keep the dressing separate to prevent sogginess.
