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!

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Variations

Low-carb: Use lettuce leaves to make lettuce chicken wraps.

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

  • 1 chicken schnitzel cut into pieces

    1/3 cup coleslaw, 1 chicken schnitzel, 1/2 green onion, 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the tortilla, starting from the bottom edge. 
  • Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in tin foil, or parchment paper and store it in an airtight container for later.

Notes

Soften tortillas: Depending on the type of tortilla you’re using you might need to heat them slightly if they are too firm. Warm the tortilla for 20-30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
Balance filling: Add the filling in the middle of the tortilla but don’t overfill to ensure a tight roll that stays together.
