Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 large tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the ripe mango, chop the cilantro, and finely dice the red onion. Set these aside in separate bowls.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess.
- Add the lime juice to the mashed avocado. This will not only add flavor but also help prevent the avocado from browning. Mix well.
- Stir in the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary based on your preference.
- In another bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like, you can add a splash of lime juice for extra flavor.
- To assemble the wraps, lay out a large tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the mango guacamole mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Top the guacamole with a portion of the seasoned shredded chicken, followed by a few pieces of diced mango for an extra burst of flavor.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and filling. You should have four delicious wraps ready to enjoy.
- For a warm touch, you can grill the wraps on a skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and slightly crispy.
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, perhaps with extra lime wedges or a side of salsa for dipping.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Ingredients: For the best flavor, ensure your avocados and mangoes are perfectly ripe. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Mash to Your Preference: When mashing the avocados, you can leave some chunks for added texture or mash them until smooth, depending on your personal preference.
- Customize Your Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the salt, pepper, and lime juice to suit your taste. A pinch of chili powder or cumin can also add a nice kick!
- Grill for Extra Crispiness: If you love a crispy wrap, don’t skip the grilling step! A few minutes on a skillet can transform your wraps into a golden, crunchy delight.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the mango guacamole mixture and shredded chicken ahead of time. Just assemble the wraps right before serving for the freshest taste.
- Serve with Dipping Options: Pair your wraps with extra lime wedges, salsa, or even a yogurt dip for a refreshing complement to the rich flavors of the guacamole.
