Instructions

Sour cream:

Mix the sour cream, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Set aside.
1 cup sour cream + 1 tablespoon lemon juice + ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika + ½ teaspoon dried oregano + ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Assemble the wraps:

Warm the tortillas in a large dry skillet over medium heat for about 15–20 seconds per side, just until soft and pliable.
4 large flour tortillas
Spread one-quarter of the sour cream mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top each tortilla with 2–3 lettuce leaves, one-quarter of the shredded chicken, onion and bell pepper slices, avocado cubes tossed with lemon juice, and crumbled feta.
8-12 lettuce leaves + 7 oz leftover shredded chicken + 1 red onion + 1 red or yellow bell pepper + 1 large avocado + 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice + 3.5 oz feta
Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom. Wrap each one halfway in aluminum foil to help hold it together, if desired.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately, or refrigerate for a few hours until ready to eat.

Notes

Chicken: Use leftover roast chicken, rotisserie chicken, or any cooked shredded chicken. You can also cook one large chicken breast, let it cool slightly, and shred it with two forks.
Feta: Feta packed in brine has the best flavor and texture. If possible, avoid pre-crumbled feta, which tends to be drier and less creamy.
