Cooking Instructions

Preparing the Chicken-Avocado Mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocados, lemon juice, sliced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Assembling the Wraps:
Lay a whole-wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of chopped romaine lettuce on the right side of the tortilla. Top the lettuce with a generous portion of the chicken-avocado mixture.

Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly, starting from the right side, to enclose the filling. Ensure the wrap is rolled snugly to prevent it from falling apart. Use a sharp knife to cut the wrap in half diagonally.
