Shredded chicken, mango, avocado and bacon are the stars in this easy California Club Chicken Wrap that is perfect for a weeknight.

Originally posted July 7, 2012 – I have officially hit that point in the summer where dinner needs to be cool and light instead of heavy and filling. I recently remade this California Club Chicken Wrap and remembered exactly why these are perfect for the summer. I like to keep cooked, shredded chicken on hand (it freezes great!), but you can always pick up a rotisserie chicken from the market as well. You do need to fry the bacon, but besides that, this is a cool and quick recipe!!
The original post from 2012 follows:
I have been spending a lot of time in my archives lately. Not only updating the recipes, but I’ve been revisiting some of those recipes for dinnertime ideas. I have several 3 ring binders full of recipes that have been printed off over the years. A few of them are of recipes that I’ve never made, but several of them are of recipes that I have made and blogged about. I’m trying to simplify my life, which means I’m getting rid of a lot of stuff, and part of this purge has been going through these recipes. But instead of just getting rid of all of the recipes that I’ve already blogged about, I’ve ended up with a new binder of recipes that I want to remake!!

This chicken wrap is one of those recipes that I know will make it into my “I want to make these again” pile. So easy, and so perfect for a hot summer day. I have been really into super simple, little heat required meals this year, and this one totally falls into that category. The only thing that I was bummed out about with this recipe is that it calls for bacon, and I for some reason had zero bacon on hand when I went to make these. Which I was so sad about, because even though these were so good, I think they would have been even better with that bacon!! (**UPDATE 7/2015 – I included bacon this time!!)
Regardless, though, this chicken wrap was so good. And if you have a rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken on hand, it makes these even easier. My idea of a perfect summer dinner!

Description
Shredded chicken, mango and avocado are the stars in this easy California Club Chicken Wrap that is perfect for a weeknight.
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- salt and pepper
- 1 mango, finely chopped
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 large avocado, or 2 small
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 cups shredded romaine
- 1 large tomato, diced
Instructions
- Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the mango, 3 tablespoons of the mayonnaise and the lime juice.
- Remove the pit and skin from the avocado and place in another bowl. Roughly mash, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
- Lay a tortilla on a work surface and spread 1/4 of the avocado mixture over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Layer 1/4 of the lettuce down the center, followed by 1/4 of the tomato, 2 slices of bacon, then 1/4 of the chicken mixture. Fold in the 2 sides of the tortilla, then roll up like a burrito.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- Cut each wrap in half before serving.

AMAZING wrap!! My avocado was not ripe enough to use, so I can only imagine how yummy it would be with it. I used low carb tomato based wraps. These are large so depending on your appetite they could be split. Four bean salad and fresh cheeeies, perfection!

You had me at all the ingredients, except mayonnaise. With ingredients as healthy and creamy as avocado and mango, why you’d want to dilute them with mayo is beyond me. I made them without the mayo, and the fruits were excellent on the wrap without it. I mashed some of the mango with the avocado to more evenly spread the mango taste, but I left most of the mango in chunks. If you need to add in a mixer, I’d suggest plain yogurt, but even that’s totally unnecessary. I realize everyone’s taste is different, but that’s my take on it.
Abbey says
I just made here for my brand new husband and he loved them!! Neither of us care for avocado, so we didn’t add that in and he doesn’t care for tomatoes, so we didn’t put those in! Will definitely eat again!

Jen says
OMG. EVERYONE in my family really liked this! Nice, fresh flavors and on the healthy side. Perfect for a summer night dinner. Will def be making again. Thank you!

Kelley says
This looks delicious! Would these be okay if made the night before for lunch the next day? Mainly I worry about the avocado turning brown, but does the mayonnaise prevent that?
Deborah says
I don’t think the mayonnaise would prevent the avocado from turning brown, unfortunately. But even if it does turn a little brown, it should still taste fine. The wrap may get just a bit soggy, but one night in the refrigerator shouldn’t make a huge difference.
Marjorie says
Delicious 😋 thank you for posting this recipe
Tracy says
I love the great flavor of the wrap I also change out the fruit sometimes and use manadrin oranges,or strawberries.
Deborah says
I love the idea of using oranges or strawberries – thanks!
Chels R. says
Okay, I think this looks amazing! My kind of wrap! I really need more 3 ring binders. Mine are a wreck.
Courtney Leigh says
This looks so perfect right now. The TX heat is dragging me DOWN.
Beth says
Oooh these look delicious! It has been so hot lately, I think it’s a perfect use of my next leftover rotisserie chicken…nice and cool and summery! Thanks!
Deborah says
@Beth, they really are the perfect summertime meal!
Joanne says
The sad thing about blogging is that you rarely get a chance to remake recipes! I like to think that’s why I have a boyfriend…a lot of them are new to him. 🙂 These sound so delicious. Such a fresh-flavored wrap.
Monet says
I can see why you would want to make these again. They look just delicious. Thank you for sharing them with me!
Bev @ Bev Cooks says
Guuuurl this is so made for my mouth.
Heather of Kitchen Concoctions says
I have a binder of recipes from various sources that has gotten a little unorganized lately. I have been trying to go back through and narrow the recipes down and get rid of ones I have made, but now I just have more recipes I want to make with not enough time to make them. Ha! And I hear ya about easy meals, I don’t know what it is about summer but I lose almost all motivation to cook ‘meals.’ This looks like a great recipe to have on hand!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
This looks amazing, I love a wrap and I love spinach wraps!
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious says
Love the simplicity of this! And I really need to find me some of those spinach wraps!
Nancy @ CouponClippingCook says
This chicken club wrap sounds so fresh and delicious. Love the green color of the wrap you used too. And thank you very much for the mention in your “other wrap” recipe links. You have such a beautiful blog.
Chels R. says
Oh I so know what you mean. I think it’s that whole “Nesting” thing for us food bloggers right now, because I went through all of my food binders a few weeks ago and threw so many things out that I can’t even tell you why I kept in the first place. These look really yummy! I adore wraps. Josh and I working on perfecting one of our bbq wraps!
Kalyn says
So good; I would love these with whole grain Flatout bread, one of my faves! And thanks for the mention!
Karly says
I’m totally getting a rotisserie chicken and making these tonight. Too hot to cook and these look amazing!
