Chicken Avocado Salad Roll Ups Recipe

Introduction

Chicken Avocado Salad Roll Ups are a fresh and flavorful snack or light meal perfect for any time of day. Creamy avocado pairs beautifully with shredded chicken and a hint of lime, all wrapped in soft tortillas for easy eating.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded chicken
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 2-4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (start with 2 and add more if the salad seems dry)
• 1 ½-2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 5-6 tortillas (8 or 10 inch diameter)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, red onion, green onions, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, cilantro or parsley, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly blended.
2. Step 2: Spread a portion of the chicken avocado salad evenly over each tortilla. Roll each tortilla up tightly to enclose the filling.
3. Step 3: Using a serrated knife, slice each roll-up into ½ inch pieces. You can slice them immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm, which makes slicing easier.

Tips & Variations

• Use 6 smaller (8-inch) tortillas instead of 5 larger ones if you prefer smaller roll-ups.
• Add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapeño for a spicy kick.
• Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream or mayonnaise for a different flavor and texture.
• Try using fresh herbs like basil or dill instead of cilantro or parsley for a unique twist.

Storage

Store the roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If sliced, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Reheat roll-ups briefly in a microwave or enjoy cold as a refreshing snack.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken avocado salad a few hours in advance. Keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to assemble the roll-ups.

Chicken Avocado Salad

• 2 cups shredded chicken
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 2–4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (start with 2 and add more if the salad seems dry)
• 1 ½–2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 ½ tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Wrap

• 5–6 tortillas (8 or 10 inch diameter)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Avocado Salad: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mashed avocado, plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, finely diced red onion, sliced green onions, freshly ground black pepper, salt, garlic powder, chopped cilantro or parsley, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended, creating a creamy and flavorful salad mixture.
2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken avocado salad evenly over the tortilla, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling. Roll the tortilla up tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling is secured inside.
3. Slice and Chill: Using a serrated knife, slice each roll into ½ inch thick pieces. You may slice them immediately for serving, or for easier handling and cleaner slices, refrigerate the assembled roll ups for about 30 minutes to firm up before slicing.

Notes

• The filling quantity is enough for 5 tortillas measuring 10 inches in diameter or 6 tortillas measuring 8 inches.
• Adjust the amount of Greek yogurt depending on how moist you prefer the salad to be.
• For a more zesty flavor, fresh lime juice is preferable.
• Refrigerating the roll ups before slicing helps achieve neater pieces and makes them easier to handle.
