I got these gorgeous spinach and tomato tortilla wraps from Melvados that came in a bigger size of 30cm diameter and decided to make some chicken wraps for dinner. Couldn’t resist buying a few bags of our favourite Kettle chips (honey dijon & jalapeño are yum!) too to eat with the guacamole I made. I love a wholesome meal like this where you get to munch on so much crunchy vegetables (with less carbs) yet one wrap is all that’s needed to fill me up. You can also make this in advance as a packed lunch for the next day. Enjoy this Grilled Chicken & Guacamole Wrap Recipe!
Tip: If the tortillas are left out for too long, they will turn hard and make it difficult to roll. So once each tortilla is off the pan, it’s best to use it immediately. Use toothpicks or bamboo skewers to hold each wrap in place if need be.
