Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken. Add the finely diced red onion and chopped fresh cilantro.
    2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  2. Spoon in the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. Add the fresh lime juice for a bright, zesty kick.
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  3. Season the mixture generously with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Stir everything together until the chicken is well coated and all the ingredients are evenly distributed. If using optional add-ins like bell peppers, corn, or black beans, gently fold them into the chicken mixture at this stage.
    1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers, 1/4 cup corn kernels, 1/4 cup black beans
  4. If you prefer mashed avocado, mash it in a small bowl with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor. If you prefer sliced avocado, simply slice one ripe avocado.

  5. Lightly warm your tortillas. You can do this by briefly heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping stacks of tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 30-60 seconds until pliable. This makes them easier to roll without cracking.

  6. Lay one warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. If using baby spinach or shredded lettuce, place a layer of greens down the center of the tortilla.

  7. Spoon approximately one-quarter of the prepared chicken mixture onto the greens. Then, layer on the mashed or sliced avocado over the chicken.

  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll up the tortilla from the bottom, tucking as you go, to create a compact wrap.
