Yields: Approximately 1 cup spread

Chicken Cucumber Wraps

6 tortillas, any kind that you like

1 cup Creamy Avocado Spread

10 oz chicken or turkey deli, thinly sliced

6 slices cheese, any kind that you like (I used Russian cheese, which is similar to Havarti)

¼ - ½ of a head of iceberg lettuce (you can also use any other lettuce, such as romaine, arugula or even spinach)

½ of an English cucumber, sliced

How to Make Chicken Cucumber Wraps

In a food processor, pulse the herbs and garlic until finely chopped.

Scoop out the avocado and add it to the food processor with the olive oil and lemon/lime juice, pulsing until the mixture is creamy.

Add the Greek yogurt or use mayonnaise instead; it works great with both. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

I like to use a different brand of Greek yogurt that is thicker, but that is the only one they had at the store. Either will work though.

You can also add some pesto to the spread, which Karina added when we had these wraps at her house, and it really gave a lot of awesome flavor to the spread.

You can easily make this spread by hand, without a food processor. Finely chop the herbs and garlic, mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the rest of the ingredients by hand as well.

This spread is so creamy, fresh and flavorful and very versatile too. Use it as a dip for veggies or chips, or spread it on bread to make many other sandwiches or wraps. BLT sandwiches would be awesome with this spread.

Top each of the tortillas with some of the avocado spread and then place the deli meat, cheese, lettuce and cucumber in the center of the tortilla. I like to season it with more salt and pepper.

Roll the tortilla around the filling ingredients.

Serve the tortilla wraps whole or cut them into pinwheels.
