Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Salad Filling
- 14 oz Cooked Chicken (shredded rotisserie or poached chicken)
- 2 Green Onions (thinly sliced, use just the green parts)
- 2 oz Plain Yogurt (substitute with Greek yogurt for extra protein)
- 4 oz Mayonnaise (use your favorite brand)
- 1.5 tsp Dijon Mustard (yellow mustard can work as a substitute)
- 1/2 Carrot (finely grated)
- 1.5 oz Spinach (roughly chopped)
- 1 oz Tomatoes (diced)
- 1 stalk Celery (finely diced)
- 1/2 Lemon Zest & Juice (zest and juice of 1/2 lemon)
- 1 oz Parmesan Cheese (finely grated)
- Black Pepper (pinch, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Dried Dill (fresh dill can be substituted)
Wraps
- 6 Tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
Instructions
- Prep Vegetables and Herbs: Finely dice the celery and tomatoes, slice the green onions using just the green parts, grate the carrot, roughly chop the spinach, and zest half a lemon.
- Mix Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon juice, dried dill, a pinch of black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until well combined.
- Combine Chicken and Veggies: Gently fold the shredded cooked chicken along with the prepared vegetables into the dressing mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated for flavorful bites.
- Warm Tortillas: Slightly heat the tortillas in a skillet over low heat or microwave them for 15 to 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable, ready for wrapping.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat and scoop about 1 to 1.5 cups of the chicken salad mixture onto an off-center spot. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly from bottom to top to form a wrap.
- Toast Wraps (Optional): For extra crunch and warmth, place the wraps in a skillet and toast each side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For additional protein and creaminess, substitute plain yogurt with Greek yogurt.
- You can use fresh dill instead of dried dill for a brighter herb flavor.
- Choose whole wheat tortillas for a healthier, higher fiber option.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or crispy veggies for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, omit Parmesan cheese and use dairy-free mayo and yogurt alternatives.
