Begin by preparing the chicken: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and add olive oil.
Once the pan is hot, add the chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden brown color.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado spread: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork, then stir in lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro. Add a pinch of salt and set aside.
Cut the tomato into thin slices and slice the red onion as thinly as possible.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
Spread one-fourth of the avocado mixture evenly over the tortilla.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the avocado, followed by a portion of the cooked chicken.
Add a few slices of tomato and red onion on top of the chicken.
Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve the wraps immediately, or wrap them tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours if making ahead.
