Ingredients You’ll Need

 

Tortillas – The Weight Watchers wraps are a great option to use. You can always find other comparable low-calorie and low-carb options at your local store or online.

Romaine lettuce – Using romaine in wraps is a great idea. It holds its shape really well and won’t wilt quite as fast as other lettuce.

Cooked shredded chicken – Having cooked shredded chicken on hand is always a good idea. It’s excellent for salads and putting together wraps like these in a breeze.

Avocados – Avocados add fiber and healthy fats to the wrap. They pair really well with the chicken and creamy dressing.

Lemon – Adding lemon juice is going to help the avocado remain fresh. Plus, it adds the acidity that most dressings need.

You can always try using lime juice if you don’t have any lemons. Another alternative would be to use a splash of apple cider vinegar.

Red onion – Red onions are low calorie and full of health benefits that you might not get from other vegetables.

Parsley – Fresh herbs are a great, natural way to add flavor to dressings. In this case, it’s ok to use dried parsley if you do not have fresh.

Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt is a healthy way to provide a creamy base for the dressing. Be sure to find 0% fat Greek yogurt if you are watching your fat intake.

It’s ok to add a few drops of water if you find the yogurt is too thick to mix as a dressing.

Garlic powder – Garlic powder is a simple way to add garlic flavor to the dressing without fresh garlic. It adds a mild garlic flavor, unlike the new version, which would be much more robust.

Sea salt – Sea salt should always be in the kitchen!

How to Make Chicken Avocado Wrap

The wrap will come together pretty quickly once you have all of the ingredients together.

Then, lay the chopped romaine on the right side of the tortilla. Top the romaine with the chicken and avocado mixture.

Roll up each tortilla so that it’s nice and tight. This way, the ingredients won’t fall out, and they will be easier to cut in half.

How Long Does a Chicken Wrap Last?

You could easily make these chicken wraps in the morning and have them for lunch. However, it’s not recommended to try and store them for much longer than a few hours.

If you did this, not only would the tortillas start to get a little soggy, but the avocado will begin to turn brown.

If you want to prep ahead so that you can have the wraps throughout the week – that’s doable! You can always prep some of the ingredients and store them separately in the fridge.

For example, you could make the chicken mixture ahead of time (without the avocados, add those before putting in the wrap) and cut up the lettuce.

Then just store them in air-tight containers, and you’ve already completed the most complicated steps.

Are you sure the nutrition count here is correct? I did a nutrition calculator just to see the difference in adding a little bit of kale. The difference is

Cal 486 - 314 = 170 Fat 21 - 3 = 18 Carb 47 - 19 = 18 Protein 29 - 12 = 17

That seems like a very big difference with just 2 pieces of kale.

Hello Carina,

I use Nutritionix to calculate nutritional values. Do take into account that wraps from each brand have completely different caloric values, I have used ones with the smallest amount of calories I could find here in the UK. I think probably the difference in calories comes just purely from the tortilla wraps you're using.

I have double checked the nutritional values, they seem about right.
