Remove chicken and vegetables from marinades, discarding marinades. Grill chicken and vegetables, covered with grill lid, over medium- high heat (350* to 400*F / 175* to 205*C) 20 minutes or until chicken is done, turning once. Remove vegetables from grill when done. Cool; cut chicken and vegetables into strips. For mayo: Peel avocados, and mash in a small bowl; stir in mayonnaise and remaining ingredients. Cover and chill. Spread tortillas with Avocado Mayonnaise. Place chicken and vegetables on tortillas; roll up. Cut in half diagonally. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
