Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz chicken cooked and shredded, can use rotisserie chicken for convenience
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced, adds a mild onion flavor
  • 2 oz yogurt plain, unsweetened, for creaminess and tang
  • 4 oz mayonnaise use your favorite brand, Hellmann's recommended
  • 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard adds a tangy, sharp flavor to the dressing
  • 0.5 carrot finely grated for subtle sweetness and crunch
  • 1.5 oz spinach roughly chopped for added greens and nutrients
  • 1 oz tomatoes diced for freshness and a pop of color
  • 1 celery stalk finely diced for a refreshing crunch
  • 0.5 lemon zest for a bright, aromatic citrus note
  • 0.5 lemon juice freshly squeezed for acidity and flavor balance
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese finely grated for savory depth and umami
  • 1 pinch black pepper freshly ground for best flavor
  • 0.5 tsp dried dill adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor that complements chicken
  • 6 tortillas flour or whole wheat, choose your preference for wrapping

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Grater
  • Sharp Knife

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken with the thinly sliced green onions, finely grated carrot, roughly chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, and finely diced celery stalk. Set aside.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain unsweetened yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, finely grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and dried dill until well combined and smooth. This is your dressing.
  3. Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the center of each tortilla, making sure not to overfill.
  5. To form the wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately or chill for a refreshing meal later.

Notes

This versatile chicken salad wrap is ideal for meal prep and can be customized with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or corn, or a different type of cheese. It's a fantastic light and satisfying meal for lunch or a quick dinner.
