Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

tortillas or wraps
cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
mayonnaise or yogurt
celery, chopped
green onions, sliced
lettuce or spinach
salt
black pepper
lemon juice
mustard (optional)

Directions

I start by preparing the chicken salad. In a bowl, I combine the cooked chicken, mayonnaise or yogurt, celery, and green onions.

I add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a bit of mustard if I want extra flavor, then mix everything until well combined.

I lay the tortilla flat and add a layer of lettuce or spinach.

I spoon the chicken salad onto the wrap and spread it evenly.

I fold in the sides and roll the wrap tightly.

I slice it in half and serve immediately.

Servings and Timing

I usually make about 2–3 wraps, serving 2–3 people.
Preparation takes around 15 minutes, and there’s no cooking required if the chicken is already prepared.

Variations

I sometimes add grapes or apples for a touch of sweetness. If I want more crunch, I include nuts like almonds or walnuts. I can also use a flavored yogurt or add herbs like dill for a different twist.

storage/reheating

I store the chicken salad separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh. I don’t reheat them, as they are best enjoyed cold.

FAQs
