Avocado Chicken Salad is a wonderful and easy filling for tortilla wraps. Store-bought rotisserie chicken makes it the perfect choice for a quick and tasty grab-and-go lunch or dinner.
This may not be the prettiest chicken salad in the world, but if you're an avocado lover, the beauty lies within.
The first day I made this Fast Easy Avocado Chicken Salad, I mixed the mashed avocado with Greek yogurt for that little bit of tang that Greek yogurt provides. The next time I make it, however, I think I'm going to mix it up with a little bit of mayonnaise (because I'm recently following a high-fat, low-carb diet), along with a touch of lemon juice. Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, either way you make it, it's still a "winner, winner avocado chicken salad dinner!" I know you'll agree.
Another thing I know you'll appreciate about this recipe is that it's a no-cook meal. No need to turn on the oven in the scorching summer heat. Plus, the cool and creamy avocado is just what the doctor ordered after a long, hot day.

My husband and I took these Avocado Chicken Salad wraps for dinner one night when we went shore fishing after work. We didn't catch any fish, but dinner was delicious!

This is fabulous. Some foods just don't translate well in photos. But I know this would taste amazing. And honestly who cares what it looks like as long as it tastes good, right. This is stellar. And those glasses, too cute for words.
