Fresh herbs, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and tender chicken come together in this vibrant wrap inspired by the classic flavors of Green Goddess dressing. Light yet satisfying, it’s the kind of easy meal that works beautifully for warm-weather lunches, picnics, road trips, or busy weekdays when you want something wholesome and refreshing without turning on the stove.
The creamy herb spread adds richness and bright flavor, while cucumbers, carrots, and greens bring crunch and color to every bite. Wrapped in a hearty whole-wheat tortilla, this is a nourishing lunch that feels both fresh and substantial.
INGREDIENTS:
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 medium avocado, mashed
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice or rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, and/or basil
2 whole-wheat tortillas (8-inch)
1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
4 tablespoons shredded carrot
12 thin cucumber slices
1 cup mixed salad greens
METHOD:
In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mashed avocado, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Fold in the fresh herbs until evenly combined. Spread the green goddess mixture evenly over the tortillas.
Divide the chicken, shredded carrot, cucumber slices, and mixed greens between the tortillas.
Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito, folding in the sides as you roll.
Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly for lunches on the go.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Serve with fresh fruit, potato chips, soup, or a crisp green salad. These wraps are also excellent for picnics, beach lunches, or packed weekday meals.
NOTES: Fresh dill gives this wrap a classic Green Goddess flavor, while basil or parsley create a lighter herbal variation. For extra crunch, add thinly sliced radishes or microgreens before rolling.
