Why you’ll love this chicken salad wrap recipe
- Customizable: Similar to my ham and cheese wrap or egg salad wrap, you can easily adjust the ingredients to your liking, adding or removing toppings as desired.
- Quick and easy recipe: This fast lunch can be prepared in 5 minutes with some meal-prepped ingredients, making it ideal for busy weekdays.
Ingredients and substitutions
- Wraps – Large soft flour tortillas work best (8 inches).
- Chicken – Cool or warm parmesan chicken schnitzel cut into strips both work well. Alternatively, you can use leftover roast chicken, grilled chicken, or rotisserie chicken.
- Veggies – Baby lettuce and coleslaw with mayonnaise give the wrap extra texture and nutrients for a complete meal. You can pretty much add any vegetable including bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, red sauerkraut, or avocado.
- Sriracha: I love adding some heat to the wrap with some Sriracha sauce. Any hot sauce will do!

Variations

Chicken salad: Simply add your favorite chicken salad instead of the schnitzel to the wrap.

Recipe FAQs
Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day but they are better made fresh.
You can use lettuce leaves for a low-carb option or whole wheat wraps as a wholesome alternative.
