Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Avocado Chicken Salad
In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth.
Stir in Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, red onion, and chopped herbs.
Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 2: Assemble the Roll Ups
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spread about ½ cup of the chicken avocado salad evenly over each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch from the edges.

Step 3: Roll & Chill
Tightly roll up each tortilla into a log.
Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.

Step 4: Slice & Serve
Remove plastic wrap and cut each roll into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife.
Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips for Success
Use Ripe Avocados – They should be soft and mash easily.
Chill Before Slicing – Helps hold their shape and makes clean slices.
Don’t Overfill – A thin, even layer rolls best and prevents spilling.
Use Fresh Herbs – Cilantro, parsley, or dill boost freshness.
Make It Dairy-Free – Skip the yogurt or use a dairy-free version.

Serving Suggestions
As a Light Lunch – Pair with fruit or veggie sticks.
Party Platter – Serve as a colorful finger food appetizer.
With a Salad – Add to a fresh green salad for a satisfying meal.
In Lunchboxes – A fun and easy lunch option for school or work.
For Meal Prep – Make ahead and store in the fridge for the week.

How to Store

Refrigerate:
Store roll ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
