Everyone loves a good wrap. You can choose between so many different things to fill them with and the added benefit is that they are quick and easy to make!
This recipe is for a chicken, pepper and avocado wrap – one of my favourites!
It is ideal to have for lunch or dinner, but also perfect for taking into university for a packed lunch. You could for example, make this wrap for dinner but at the same time already make one that you can pack up and take into university with you the next day!
This chicken, pepper and avocado wrap is really easy to make. Simply fry your chicken and red pepper whilst you are preparing the other components. Start by spreading on a spoonful of yoghurt, then scatter with some chopped salad leaves and then the avocado. Once you have done that, the chicken and pepper should be ready to be piled on top. Roll it up, slice the wrap in half and you are good to go!
You could also prepare this as a crunchwrap. Simply pile the fillings into the middle of the wrap, fold up and return to the hot frying pan. See below for more information.
Serve the wrap with a side salad or some coleslaw, or simply eat on its own!

Method:
- Cut the chicken breast into little pieces and slice the red pepper into strips.

How can I turn it into a crunchwrap?!
What about putting a twist on a normal wrap and turning it into a crunchwrap?
Instead of arranging the fillings along the midline of the wrap, create a pile in the middle. Fold up the edges into the centre and return to the hot pan, folded side down.
Leave for about 30 seconds, then flip and also toast the other side. Watch the crunchwrap closely as it can burn really quickly!!!
Pile the fillings in the middle. 
Fold and return to the frying pan. 
And voilà, you have a crunchwrap!
