Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Large skillet or grill pan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

For the seasoned chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin optional, for warmth

For the avocado dressing

  • 1 medium ripe avocado pitted and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise sugar free
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For assembling the wraps

  • 4 keto friendly low carb tortillas about 8 inch, almond or coconut flour or high fiber tortillas, 3 to 4 grams net carbs each
  • 2 cups baby spinach or arugula loosely packed
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber optional
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell pepper any color, optional
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • 4 slices cooked bacon crumbled, optional

Instructions

  • Add the chicken, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground cumin to a bowl and toss until the chicken is evenly coated with oil and spices.
  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium to medium high heat and add a light drizzle of oil if the pan is not nonstick.
  • Cook the seasoned chicken in a single layer, turning once, until golden on the outside and cooked through in the center, about 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or chop it into bite sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, then stir in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until a creamy dressing forms.
  • Taste the avocado dressing and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference, thinning with a small splash of water if you prefer a looser drizzle.
  • Place the low carb tortillas on a work surface and divide the greens evenly down the center of each tortilla to create a bed that helps prevent sogginess.
  • Top the greens on each tortilla with sliced or chopped chicken, then spoon or drizzle a generous amount of the avocado dressing over the chicken.
  • Add cucumber, bell pepper, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon if using, keeping the fillings in a tight line through the center of each tortilla.
  • Fold the sides of each tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the wrap up tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose everything securely.
  • Slice each wrap in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment or foil and refrigerate for a portable keto friendly lunch.

Notes

For the lowest carbs choose tortillas with about 3 to 4 grams net carbs each and avoid any added sugars in the ingredient list. If you prefer to skip tortillas entirely you can turn this into a lettuce wrap by using sturdy romaine or butter lettuce leaves and layering the fillings in the same order. To meal prep, store the cooked chicken, avocado dressing, vegetables, and tortillas separately for up to 3 days and assemble just before eating so the wraps stay fresh and crisp.
