06 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form wraps. Secure with toothpicks if desired.
07 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It turns plain leftover chicken into something you'd actually crave, with barely any effort and a smoky, tangy punch.
  • Everything stays crisp and fresh inside the wrap, so you get crunch and creaminess in every bite without anything getting soggy.
  • You can prep the chicken salad ahead and just assemble wraps when hunger strikes, making it perfect for grab-and-go days.
02 -
  • Don't skip warming the tortillas, because cold ones crack and split the second you try to fold them, and nobody wants a wrap that falls apart.
  • If your chicken salad looks too wet, let it sit for a minute and then drain off any excess liquid before wrapping, or your tortilla will get soggy fast.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the wraps cleanly without squishing them or making the filling spill out everywhere.
  • If you're making these for meal prep, wrap each one individually in parchment paper so they stay tight and travel well without getting messy.
