Prepare Avocado Mayonnaise:
- Peel the avocados and mash them in a small bowl.

Marinate Chicken and Vegetables:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, sugar, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar.

- Place the sliced bell peppers, onion, and avocado slices in another zip-top bag and pour the remaining vinegar mixture over the vegetables.
- Seal the bags and chill for at least 1 hour, tossing occasionally to ensure even marination.

Grill Chicken and Vegetables:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350°F to 400°F / 175°C to 205°C).
- Remove the chicken and vegetables from the marinades, discarding the marinades.
- Grill the chicken breasts and vegetables, covered with the grill lid, for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, turning once halfway through the cooking time.
- Once done, remove the vegetables from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Assemble Wraps:

- Spread a generous amount of the prepared Avocado Mayonnaise onto each flour tortilla.
- Place the sliced chicken and vegetables on top of the Avocado Mayonnaise.
