Slice the chicken breast into strips about half an inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the egg until fully combined.
Dip each chicken strip in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken strips in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
To make the avocado dressing, mash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork.
Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and salt until well combined and creamy.
To assemble the wraps, lay out the lettuce leaves. Spread a spoonful of avocado dressing on each leaf.
Place 2-3 chicken strips onto each lettuce wrap.
Roll the lettuce leaves around the chicken and dressing to enclose, and serve immediately.
