Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup grapes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, chopped celery, and halved grapes.
- Season the chicken mixture with salt and pepper, gently mixing all ingredients until well combined and evenly distributed.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to wrap.
- Lay out each tortilla on a clean, flat surface and place a fresh lettuce leaf in the center of each tortilla.
- Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken salad mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf, spreading it evenly.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, creating a tight, enclosed wrap.
- Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serving.
- Optional: Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for a portable lunch or snack.
Tips
- Use Leftover Chicken: For an even quicker preparation, use leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand. It saves time and adds extra flavor!
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to get creative! Add chopped nuts for extra crunch, swap grapes for apples, or mix in some diced avocado for creaminess.
- Warm Your Tortillas: Warming the whole wheat tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to wrap without tearing. Just a few seconds in the microwave or a quick toast in a skillet will do the trick.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the chicken salad mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the tortillas fresh.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: These wraps are great for meal prep! Simply wrap them in parchment paper and store in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go lunch or snack throughout the week.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your wraps with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad to create a well-rounded meal that’s both satisfying and healthy.
