Let’s Make it Together
Cook the Chicken: Start by preheating your grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking them until golden brown and cooked through—about 6-7 minutes per side.
Prep Your Veggies: While the chicken cools down, chop up your fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Think about colors and textures; you want it visually appealing!
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together your choice of dressing with some extra seasonings if desired. A dollop of Greek yogurt can add creaminess while keeping it healthier.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Slice your cooled chicken into strips and place them in the center along with veggies and dressing.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of each tortilla over filling before rolling from one end to another tightly. Make sure everything stays inside—no one likes a messy wrap!
Strong tips: If you’re feeling adventurous, you can grill some pineapple slices alongside the chicken for an unexpected twist
Enjoy your wraps right away or refrigerate them for later use. These wraps are best served chilled but still taste great even after some time!
Now you have mastered making these delightful chicken salad wraps that everyone will rave about! Happy wrapping!
