8 strips bacon
2 ripe avocados
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon honey
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried basil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken breast
4 large spinach tortillas
4–5 green leaf lettuce leaves, torn
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese

directions

Cook the bacon. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Mash the avocado. In a bowl, mash 1 avocado with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon salt until slightly chunky.
Make the dressing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, onion powder, dried basil, remaining lemon juice and salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded chicken until evenly coated.
Assemble the wraps.
- Warm the tortillas briefly to make them more pliable.
- Spread a layer of mashed avocado down the center of each tortilla.
- Top with lettuce, tomato, 2 strips of bacon, the chicken mixture, and shredded cheese.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately or wrap for later.

Separate storage: For longer storage, keep the components separate and assemble just before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

2. How can I prevent the wraps from becoming soggy?

Use lettuce as a barrier between the tortilla and wetter ingredients like tomato and avocado, and assemble wraps just before serving.

3. Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, they can be made a few hours in advance. Wrap them tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

4. What can I use instead of spinach tortillas?

Whole wheat, plain flour, sun-dried tomato, or gluten-free tortillas all work as alternatives.

5. How can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Monterey Jack is mild and melty, but cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack can also enhance the flavor.
