Description
The ultimate solution for a fresh, healthy lunch or crowd-pleasing party appetizer. These protein-packed roll-ups swap traditional mayo for creamy mashed avocado and tangy Greek yogurt. With a zesty lift from lime and a subtle crunch from onions, these ‘wheels’ are a vibrant, handheld treat ready in minutes.
Ingredients
The Creamy Filling
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 2–4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1.5–2 tbsp lime juice
Aromatics & Seasoning
- 2 tbsp red onion, diced + 2 green onions, sliced
- 1.5 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley
- Spices: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, black pepper
The Base
- 5–6 large tortillas (8 or 10-inch)
Instructions
Mix: Combine shredded chicken, mashed avocado, onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs in a large bowl. Stir in lime juice.
Texture: Add Greek yogurt 1 tbsp at a time until reaching a spreadable consistency. Fold in Cheddar cheese.
Roll: Lay tortillas flat and spread the mixture evenly, leaving a small margin. Roll as tightly as possible.
Chill: Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes for cleaner slicing (optional).
Slice: Use a serrated knife to cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds and serve.
Notes
Serrated Knife Secret: A serrated blade uses a sawing motion that prevents squishing the soft tortilla and creamy filling.
Oxidation Control: Lime juice’s citric acid acts as a functional ingredient to slow the browning of the avocado.
Shredding Hack: Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low for 30 seconds to get a perfect, uniform shred on warm chicken.
