- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro. Toss the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.

Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can shred the chicken and vegetables in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the wraps.
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, or even avocado for an extra crunch and flavor boost.
- Lettuce Selection: While large lettuce leaves work best, you can also use collard greens or Swiss chard for a sturdier wrap that holds more filling.
- Make It a Meal: Pair these wraps with a side of brown rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
- Chill for Flavor: Letting the assembled wraps chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Dressing Variations: Experiment with different dressings by adding a splash of rice vinegar or a hint of honey for sweetness.Enjoy crafting these delicious wraps, and watch as they become a staple in your healthy eating routine!
