Chicken & Avocado Wraps
Each wrap halved on the diagonal to reveal the layers — pink-edged smoky chicken, pale green avocado and ruby tomato — with a wedge of lemon alongside and parsley scattered across the cut faces.
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 50 g mixed salad leaves
- 1 lemon, juice only
- Crusty bread, to serve
- Fresh parsley, to serve
Method
- Rub the chicken breasts all over with the smoked paprika, olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Get a griddle or heavy frying pan hot — you want it properly hot, just shy of smoking — and lay the chicken in. Cook for 6–7 minutes per side, until deeply marked and cooked through with no pink at the thickest point. Lift onto a board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice on the diagonal into thick strips.
- While the chicken rests, toss the sliced avocado gently with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. The lemon keeps it bright green and seasons it at the same time.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or low oven so they roll without cracking. Spread each one with a tablespoon of mayonnaise, edge to edge.
- Layer the salad leaves down the centre of each tortilla, then the tomato slices, then the avocado, and finally the warm sliced chicken on top.
- Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Cut each wrap in half on the diagonal so the fillings show.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a scattering of fresh parsley over the cut sides.
