Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1 ripe avocado, perfectly mashed

6 strips of crispy bacon, coarsely chopped

1 small red onion, finely diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If the chicken breasts are not yet cooked, you can either boil or grill them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once fully cooked, allow the chicken to cool slightly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces with two forks.

    Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped bacon, finely diced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Make the Avocado Dressing: In a separate small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with fresh lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the dressing is creamy and smooth. This adds a rich texture and refreshing flavor to the wraps.

        Combine: Carefully fold the avocado dressing into the chicken mixture, ensuring that everything is coated without overly mashing the ingredients. Aim for a chunky filling that maintains texture.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a large lettuce leaf and spoon a generous portion of the chicken and avocado mixture onto the center of the leaf.

            Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley on top of the filling for an added touch of flavor and color.

              Serve: Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling like a burrito, keeping it tightly wrapped. Alternatively, you can serve them open-faced for a more casual presentation.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately alongside lime wedges for an extra burst of citrusy goodness.
