Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

Chicken Salad Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced (rotisserie or breast)
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup celery finely diced
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely diced
  • 0.25 cup dried cranberries or halved grapes
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch Salt and black pepper to taste

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large flour, whole wheat, or spinach tortillas
  • 4 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves
  • 0.25 cup Shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, or turkey bacon bits optional for extra texture

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken with the diced celery and red onion.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and smoked paprika until the dressing is smooth.
  • Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and fold gently until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly coated.
  • Fold in the dried cranberries or grapes, along with any other optional add-ins like turkey bacon or carrots.
  • Season the chicken salad with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • To assemble, lay a tortilla flat and place a large lettuce leaf in the center to serve as a moisture barrier to prevent the wrap from becoming soggy.
  • Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad onto the lettuce leaf.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up, ensuring the ends are tucked in securely.
  • Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper and store in an airtight container for an on-the-go meal.
