Overstuffed Chicken Guacamole Wrap

This wrap is filled with plenty of fresh ingredients. To make it easier to handle, be sure to finely shred the lettuce and cut the chicken into cubes, as this really is an overstuffed wrap—after all, the drippier the better (and more decadent!), right?

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 1 serving

Ingredients

1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla
2 tablespoons prepared guacamole (2 g of fat or less per tablespoon)
4 ounces Basic Grilled Chicken (see page 219) or lean store-bought chicken breast, cut into cubes
1/2 cup finely shredded green lettuce leaves (I used romaine)
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the tortilla on a serving plate. Starting at one edge, spread a 3-inch-wide strip of the guacamole down the center, leaving about 1 inch bare at the opposite edge. (So you can fold the bare tortilla up and over part of the filling.) Place the chicken, lettuce, and tomato evenly on top of the guacamole. Fold up the bare edge of the tortilla, and then roll the sides over the filling to make an open wrap. Serve immediately, or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
