Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken is an excellent choice)

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (for the best flavor)

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps

1 cup mixed greens or baby spinach

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cilantro Cream Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, finely chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir the mixture vigorously until it is smooth and creamy. Taste the sauce and season it with salt and pepper to your liking. For a spicy twist, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

    Mix the Chicken: In a separate bowl, take the shredded chicken and add approximately half of the cilantro cream sauce. Gently toss the chicken, ensuring that it is evenly coated in the sauce. Adjust the seasoning as needed to enhance the flavor.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place each tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon a generous layer (around 2 tablespoons) of the reserved cilantro cream sauce onto the center of each tortilla, spreading it out evenly.

        Layer Ingredients: On top of the sauce on each tortilla, add a handful of mixed greens followed by a portion of the cilantro-coated chicken. Next, layer on the slices of avocado and the halved cherry tomatoes for vibrant color and flavor.

          Wrap it Up: Starting at one end, carefully fold the tortilla over the filling. Tuck in the sides of the tortilla, then continue to roll it tightly to encase the fillings, ensuring nothing spills out. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. Serve the wraps chilled or at room temperature, accompanied by the remaining cilantro cream sauce on the side for dipping.
