- Cheese: Use shredded fontina cheese or white cheddar cheese.
- Garlic Aioli: Garlic aioli is an emulsion of olive oil and garlic, but you can substitute garlic mayo.
- Cilantro: Adds a bright, fresh flavor.

How To Make Chicken Avocado Wrap
- Season the chicken. Pat dry the chicken halves with a kitchen towel and season them with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken. Heat a grill pan or skillet with oil on medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add the chicken breast, cook for 4-5minutes and flip it on the other side to cook further until the chicken is cooked through.
- Slice the chicken. Once done, cut the chicken into strips and set it aside.
- Assemble the wrap. Add about 2 tablespoons of cheese to the center of a tortilla to assemble the wrap. Add the chicken pieces, drizzle a tablespoon of garlic aioli and chopped cilantro, and top it with 3-4 slices of avocado. Seal the tortilla like a burrito.
- Grill the wrap. Place the wrap in a grill pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, slice the wrap into halves and serve warm.
