I love making these chicken avocado grilled wraps when I want something quick, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Juicy seasoned chicken, creamy avocado, melted cheese, and fresh herbs all come together inside a warm tortilla that I grill until perfectly crispy. This recipe feels indulgent, but it is simple enough for a busy day.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it uses simple ingredients and delivers big flavor. I like how the taco-seasoned chicken pairs with the creamy avocado and gooey cheese.

Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large avocado, sliced
1 cup Mexican cheese blend
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 large flour tortillas
Directions
I start by seasoning the chicken breasts evenly with taco seasoning. I heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side, until fully cooked and nicely browned. I remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
I warm the flour tortillas slightly so they are easy to fold. I layer sliced chicken, avocado, shredded cheese, and cilantro down the center of each tortilla. I fold the sides in and roll them tightly into wraps.
I place the wraps seam-side down on a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. I grill them for about 2–3 minutes per side, until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted. I remove them from the heat, slice them in half, and serve them warm.
Servings And Timing

Prep time is about 10 minutes.
Cooking time is around 15 minutes.
Total time comes to roughly 25 minutes.
Variations
I like swapping the chicken for grilled shrimp or steak when I want something different. I sometimes add sautéed bell peppers and onions for extra texture. For a spicy version, I mix in sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of chipotle sauce. I also enjoy using whole wheat tortillas for a heartier wrap.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, I prefer using a skillet over medium heat to bring back the crispy texture. I avoid the microwave if possible, since it can make the tortillas soft.
FAQs
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
I can assemble the wraps ahead, but I prefer grilling them just before serving for the best texture.
What kind of cheese works best?
I like using a Mexican cheese blend, but cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination also works well.
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
I often use rotisserie chicken when I am short on time, and it works perfectly in this recipe.
Are these wraps freezer-friendly?
I do not recommend freezing them, since the avocado texture changes once thawed.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
I make it gluten-free by using certified gluten-free tortillas.
Conclusion
I keep coming back to these chicken avocado grilled wraps because they are easy, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. The combination of seasoned chicken, creamy avocado, and crispy tortillas always hits the spot. This is one of those recipes I enjoy making again and again, especially when I want something simple that still feels special.
