Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Mash the avocado in a bowl with the lime juice; season.
  2. Spoon the chicken filling into a baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 20 mins until piping hot.
  3. Spread a little avocado onto a tortilla wrap, top with some lettuce leaves, chicken filling and a scattering of coriander. Fold over the ends of the wrap and roll up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wraps.

Tip: To save time, you can heat the chicken filling in a microwave. Cover and heat for 3-4 mins until piping hot throughout. Timings are based on a 800W microwave.
