Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with sour cream)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup mixed salad greens (such as baby spinach and arugula)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 ripe avocado, sliced

Optional: sliced jalapeños for added heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Cilantro Sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.

    Mix the Chicken: In a separate bowl, add the shredded or diced chicken and pour in half of the prepared creamy cilantro sauce. Gently toss the chicken with the sauce until all pieces are generously coated.

      Assemble the Wraps: On a clean countertop, lay out the whole wheat tortillas. Spoon a generous amount of the remaining creamy cilantro sauce onto each tortilla, spreading it evenly across the surface.

        Layer Ingredients: For each tortilla, first place a handful of mixed salad greens in the center. Top with a portion of the cilantro-coated chicken, then add halved cherry tomatoes and avocado slices. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle sliced jalapeños on top.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, roll it tightly while folding in the sides to secure the filling, creating a neat wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all wraps are assembled.

            Serve: To present the wraps beautifully, cut each one in half diagonally. Serve immediately, accompanied by extra creamy cilantro sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
