Ingredients
- Grilled chicken breast (seasoned with salt and pepper)
- Bacon (for a crispy texture)
- Avocado (adds creaminess)
- Lettuce leaves (helps keep everything fresh)
- Tomato slices (for sweetness and acidity)
- Mayonnaise (for added richness)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the grilled chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste. Grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Let it rest before slicing thinly.
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Assemble the wrap: On a large lettuce leaf, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly.
- Layer the ingredients: Place slices of grilled chicken, crispy bacon, avocado slices, and tomato slices on top of the mayonnaise.
- Wrap it up: Carefully wrap the lettuce around the fillings, making sure it is securely enclosed. You may want to use toothpicks to hold it together.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy these wraps fresh for the best texture.
Notes
Use ripe avocados for richness. For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
