Chicken Feta Fajita Wraps

The fresh tasting avocado dip is an amazing base to the tender rotisserie chicken in this wrap. Make them ahead and wrap them in plastic wrap to take to the park or enjoy while watching the kids play ball.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 wraps

6 Longo’s large (10 inch/25 cm) flour tortillas
1 tub (227 g) Longo’s avocado hummus dip
3 cups (750 mL) shredded Longo’s rotisserie chicken 
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled feta or Longo’s goat cheese
2 green onions, sliced 
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/2 tsp (2 mL) grated lemon rind

Lay all of the tortillas on work surface. Divide avocado dip among tortillas and spread evenly to coat tortillas. Divide chicken in centre of each tortilla and sprinkle with red pepper.

In a small bowl, combine feta, green onion, cilantro and lemon rind. Divide over top of chicken and roll up tortillas to serve.

Makes 6 tortillas.

Tip: You will need all the breast meat to make 3 cups (750 mL) of shredded meat. If you want to use up the whole chicken, simply divide the remaining meat among the tortillas.
