Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 minced small garlic clove until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Lay out 4 large flour tortillas. Evenly distribute grilled chicken slices, 1 sliced ripe avocado, and 1 peeled, segmented medium navel orange onto each tortilla.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle the cilantro-lime yogurt dressing over the fillings. Fold the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form wraps. Serve immediately for a light, flavorful California-inspired lunch.

How do I scale Citrus-Avocado Chicken Wraps with Cilantro-Lime Dressing for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
