Instructions
- Prepare the avocado mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, and fresh lime juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add vegetables and herbs: Stir in the chopped red onion, celery, and fresh cilantro or parsley, mixing well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

- Season the salad: Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences and mix once more.
- Prepare the tortillas: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Optionally, place a few lettuce leaves or baby spinach along the center of each tortilla to add extra crunch and freshness.
- Assemble the wraps: Spoon an even amount of the avocado chicken salad onto each tortilla, spreading it down the center.
- Roll up the wraps: Tightly roll each tortilla, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling and create a neat wrap.
- Serve or store: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil to store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
