Turmeric Chicken & Avocado Wraps: An Easy Anti-Inflammatory Lunch Idea

Betsy Earle

Yield: 4 servings

These chicken salad wraps are packed with ingredients that help reduce inflammation. Turmeric, with its bright golden hue, is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, while chickpeas add fiber and plant-based protein.

Time: 30 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/3 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken

  • 1 cup canned no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped raisins

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 large avocado

  • 4 (9-inch) whole-wheat tortillas

  • 2 cups spring mix salad greens, divided


Instructions:

  1. Whisk 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup yogurt, 2 teaspoons mustard, 3/4 teaspoon each cinnamon, cumin and turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Add 1 cup chicken, the rinsed chickpeas, the toasted walnuts, 1/3 cup raisins, 3 tablespoons shallots and 2 tablespoons cilantro; stir until evenly coated and combined.

  2. When ready to serve, thinly slice avocado. Top 1 tortilla with 1/2 cup spring mix and one-quarter of the sliced avocado. Top with about 1/2 cup chicken mixture. Roll the tortilla up and over the filling, like a burrito, tucking in the sides to help keep the ingredients in. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, spring mix, avocado and chicken mixture. Slice the wraps in half crosswise to serve.
