A few days ago I had the pleasure to host some of my old friends. They were back in town after a really long time and stop by to see us suddenly. That turned out into a kind of last minute party. I didn’t have much time for planning like I usually do. So I opened my fridge and had to think of something quickly. I had a stock of tortillas and avocado from my last recipe for Easy Chicken Taquitos and plenty chicken leftovers from lunch. And after a short brainstorming, these easy appetizers were born.
Chicken Avocado Salad Roll Ups
Yield : 15
Category: appetizer
Cuisine : American
Chicken Avocado Salad Roll Ups are great appetizers for a party, healthy lunch for kids or light and easy dinner for whole family.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1 ripe avocado- mashed
- 2–4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (start with 2 and add more if the salad seems to dry)
- 1 ½–2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
- 2 green onion-sliced
- Freshly ground black pepper- to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley- chopped
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 5–6 Tortillas (8 or 10 inch diameter)
- Notes: I had enough filling for 5 tortillas (10 inch diameter). You can use 6 (8 inch) tortillas.
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients for Chicken Avocado salad. Stir until evenly blended.
- Spread the mixture over tortilla and roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining salad.
- Slice with serrated knife into ½ inch slices. You can slice them immediately or refrigerate until firm (about 30 mins). It’s easier to slice when chilled.
