Description
A quick and easy Chicken Roll-Up featuring a soft wrap filled with houmous, tender cooked chicken breast, creamy avocado, fresh cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Perfect for a light lunch or snack, this recipe requires no cooking and can be assembled in minutes.
Ingredients
Wrap and Spread
- 1 wrap or tortilla
- 1–2 tbsp houmous
Filling
- 3 fat slices cooked chicken breast
- ¼ avocado, peeled and chopped
- 3 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the wrap: Place a wrap or tortilla flat on a clean board or plate. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of houmous evenly onto the middle section using a spoon or butter knife to create a flavorful base.
- Add the chicken: Tear up 3 thick slices of cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a line down the center of the wrap. This helps keep the filling compact when rolling.
- Add avocado and tomatoes: Using a butter knife, chop ¼ of an avocado and place it next to the chicken. Then, carefully halve 3 cherry tomatoes by squeezing and tearing them; place these alongside the other fillings, watching out for juice spills.
- Sprinkle with cheese: Generously sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of grated cheddar cheese over the fillings to add a sharp, creamy flavor.
- Roll and cut: Roll the wrap up tightly around the fillings, pressing down firmly to secure everything inside. For safety and neatness, ask a grown-up helper to cut the roll-up in half before serving.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast slices for convenience; leftover roasted or grilled chicken works great.
- If you prefer, substitute houmous with cream cheese or any favorite spread.
- Handle cherry tomatoes carefully to avoid juice splatters when tearing them.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the cheddar cheese or use a vegan cheese substitute.
- This roll-up is best eaten fresh but can be wrapped tightly in cling film and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
