Sweet, savory, and incredibly fresh, 15-Minute Mango Chicken Salad Wraps bring a burst of sunshine to your lunch table. Tender shredded chicken is tossed in a vibrant, light yogurt-lime dressing with diced juicy mango, crunchy red bell pepper, and creamy avocado, all wrapped up tightly in soft flour tortillas.
The secret to a hold-together wrap that never leaks is Tossing the Shredded Chicken and Diced Mango in a Thick, Greek-Yogurt-Based Dressing First and Chilling the Avocado Slices directly on the Lettuce Barrier. The leafy greens act as a protective shield against moisture, keeping the tortilla dry and soft.

Key Ingredients Overview
- Chicken Base: 2½ cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely cubed rotisserie chicken).
- Produce & Fruits: 1 ripe mango (diced), ½ red bell pepper (diced), ½ red onion (finely diced), and 1 ripe avocado (sliced).
- Light Yogurt-Lime Dressing: ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1½ tablespoons fresh lime juice, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Herbs & Greens: ⅓ cup fresh cilantro (chopped) and 4 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves.
- Wraps: 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas or spinach wraps.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1.Whisk Light Lime Dressing:3 min.
In a large bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
2.Toss Chicken, Mango & Veggies:4 min.
Add shredded cooked chicken, diced ripe mango, diced red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro into the bowl with the dressing. Fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
3.Layer Lettuce Barrier & Fill Wraps:5 min.
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place 1 large leaf of crisp romaine lettuce in the center of each wrap (this creates a barrier that keeps the tortilla dry). Top with a generous scoop of the mango chicken salad and arrange avocado slices on top.
4.Roll Tight, Slice & Serve:3 min.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Slice diagonally in half with a sharp knife and serve immediately!
Expert Tips for Success
- Use Firm Yet Ripe Mangoes: Pick a mango that yields slightly to gentle pressure without being mushy so the cubes hold their shape when folded into the chicken mixture.
- Pre-Cooked Chicken Shortcut: Shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken saves 10 minutes of cooking time while keeping the meat juicy and tender.
- Double-Wrap for On-the-Go: If packing for lunch later, wrap each completed tortilla tightly in parchment paper or foil to hold its shape during transit.
