Instructions
Combine the cooked chicken shredded or diced with the shredded cheese diced avocado and your chosen sauce in a medium bowl
Gently fold in the cilantro and lime or lemon juice keeping the avocado in small chunks for texture
Lay a warm tortilla on the work surface and place a portion of the filling along the center
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla forward to form a tight wrap ensuring the seam is tucked underneath
Heat a pan or griddle over medium high heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the surface
Place the wraps seam side down and cook until the tortilla is lightly golden on the bottom then flip to crisp the other side
Remove from the pan and let the wraps rest briefly before serving for easier slicing and neater presentation
Notes
Use ripe but firm avocado for best texture and add lime juice right away to keep the avocado bright
Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent tearing and to make rolling easier
Adjust the filling thickness by adding more chicken or more sauce to reach a balanced consistency
Choose Cabot or Tillamook cheeses for good melting quality and clean flavor
If you prefer more heat add a dash of Texas Pete Crystal or Sriraja to the filling or to the finished wrap
