This is a great on-the-go sandwich option. You can assemble the wraps for two days of lunches, or prepare all the ingredients and store them in the fridge for up to five days, assembling the wraps as needed for a week of easy lunches. The latter is a great option for single-serving portions, too!
4 slices bacon
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (see notes)
½ cup mayonnaise, homemade ( see here ) or store-bought
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for seasoning the avocado
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning the avocado
1 small avocado (see notes)
4 Wraps ( see here ) or large lettuce leaves
2 hard-boiled eggs ( see here ), sliced
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 small tomato, diced
1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and fry the bacon until crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. While the bacon is frying, place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl. Stir in the mayo, salt, and pepper.
3. Cut the avocado in half, then remove the pit. Slice the avocado into ¼-inch slices and, using a spoon, scoop the slices from the skin. Sprinkle the avocado with salt and pepper.
4. To assemble the wraps: Lay a wrap on a clean work surface and place one-quarter of the dressed chicken along the edge closest to you, leaving about a 1-inch border for easy rolling. Top the chicken with one-quarter of each of the remaining filling ingredients. Fold the ends of the wrap over the filling and roll it up. Repeat with the remaining three wraps and filling ingredients.
5. Slice the assembled wraps in half before serving. Store extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
notes: If you don’t have leftover cooked chicken on hand, you can use my easy recipe for Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs on see here . Or purchase an organic rotisserie chicken from your local market.
If you do not plan to serve all the wraps immediately, slice just enough of the avocado needed for the number of wraps you’re serving, then add the remaining avocado to the remaining wraps right before serving.
busy family tip: For a week of easy on-the-go lunches, prepare all the ingredients for the wraps, except the avocado, and store them separately in the fridge for up to 5 days. Prepare single-serving wraps as needed for easy meals, cutting avocado slices and adding them to the wraps just before serving.
