New Year, new resolutions. And the most famous one: losing weight. I know, December was a hell of a month, too much shopping, eating and drinking. So a healthier January may sound like a good plan. Although in reality statistics show that the eating healthily doesn't really last that long around this time of the year. Oh well, at least we try.

But you know what, quick healthy recipes can be truly delicious and super easy to make. Take this wrap, it has got the healthiest stuff you can ask for:

• avocados, known for the countless health benefits
• spinach, a super leaf loaded with vitamins and minerals
• chicken, an easy and light meat that can safely be consumed if you are on a diet.

Chicken can be replaced with any lean meat, like turkey. I have tried it in this Healthy leftover turkey wraps with cranberry sauceand it was really delicious. Same goes for leftover beef, lamb or pulled pork.

Ingredients needed to make a chicken avocado wrap

• chicken breast - it's very easy to cook, and quick too
• avocado - make sure it's just ripe, unripe avocado is too hard and tasteless
• fresh baby spinach - or you can use any salad leaves
• sour cream - for spreading on the wraps
• Cheddar cheese - or any other hard cheese
• paprika- adds a nice colour and taste
• granulated garlic
• salt & ground black pepper
• vegetable oil
• tortilla wraps

Easy swaps

This wrap is so easy to make, and it can be tweaked to your own liking:

• grilled chicken can be swapped for leftover chicken - especially if you have any leftovers from your Spatchco*ck Chicken or Whole Roasted Chicken. It can also be swapped for any other leftover meat.
• sour cream can be replaced with creme fraiche or yogurt
• spinach can be replaced with green salad
• wholemeal tortilla wraps can be swapped for white flour or corn tortilla wraps

Step-by-step instructions and photos

• To cook the chicken, cut the chicken breasts into strips, add them to a bag together with the salt, pepper, paprika, granulated garlic and oil.
• Give the bag a good shake so that the chicken can be well coated.
• Heat up a grill pan, add the chicken and cook on both sides until done, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Peel and slice the avocado, then squeeze the lemon juice over.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate, warm up the tortilla wraps for a few seconds on each side, so the folding can be done easier.
• Spread the sour cream on one side of the wrap, sprinkle the grated cheese over, then add the chicken, spinach and avocado.
• Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
