Our step-by-step guide:

Dice your chicken fillets into small pieces.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the crushed garlic and chicken pieces. Stir until browned.

Add the spinach and carrots and cook for 5 minutes until all vegetables are soft and the chicken is cooked through.

Place the chicken mixture in a bowl and set to one side.

Make your cheese sauce.

First add the butter and flour to a saucepan and stir constantly.

Then slowly pour in the milk, still stirring.

Finally add the grated cheese.

It should be a thick but runny consistency, like a thick soup.

Adjust the amount of milk if necessary to make it more or less runny.

Prepare to make your chicken wraps.

Have your crushed avocado, chicken mixture, cheese sauce (if using) with your wholewheat tortilla.

Spread the crushed avocado along the tortilla, slightly off-centre.

Then add the chicken mixture and a squeeze of lime if you would like.

Garnish with coriander and pour on the cheese sauce (or sprinkle on grated cheese if you’re pushed for time).

Roll it up!

You can cut the wraps in half to make it easier for little ones to eat, and even drizzle some more sauce on top!

Enjoy!
