Easy Chicken Salad Snack Wraps
Description
This recipe uses cooked rotisserie chicken shredded into bite-sized pieces combined with a dressing of mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, green onions, diced celery, shredded carrot, and a splash of hot sauce. The mixture is seasoned with salt and black pepper and chilled before assembling into medium tortillas. Each wrap is filled with a generous portion of the chicken salad and topped with shredded cheese before rolling securely. The wraps can be warmed lightly in a skillet to melt the cheese or eaten as-is. They make convenient snacks or light meals with varied accompaniments.
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken skin discarded, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups, or a little more)
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped, leaves
- ½ cup carrot shredded
- ⅓ cup green onions thinly sliced
- ½ cup celery diced, ribs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or greek yogurt
- 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 2 cups cheese your favorite variety, shredded
- 8 medium tortillas
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather up all the ingredients.
- In a large bowl combine mayonnaise, cilantro, green onions, celery, carrots, sour cream or greek yogurt, and hot sauce.
- Stir it all together.
- Dice or shred the chicken.
- Add chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate in a sealed container or cover your bowl with plastic wrap until ready to use.
- When you are ready to make your snack wraps prepare your workstation. Set your tortillas in front of you. Arrange chicken salad in the center third of your tortilla, right in the middle.
- Sprinkle cheese on top. As much or as little as you want.
- Pick tortilla up and adjust contents into the shape of a fat cigar. Flip each end up over top of the filling and roll. Place seam side down until you are finished rolling them all up.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. This part can get a bit messy. Place a few pieces of paper towel on a large enough plate to hold all of your tortillas and set aside. Place your salt and pepper shaker nearby.
- Next, grab each rolled tortilla. Coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Place, seam side down on your skillet.
- After a minute or two you have to flip your tortilla to brown the other side. Keep checking that your tortilla is as brown as you want it. Repeat this process until all of your wraps are browned and crisped.
- Transfer to serving plate and slice in half if desired.
- Eat and enjoy!
Notes
- Try serving these wraps with different side dishes each time to create varied meals.
- Adjust the hot sauce quantity to manage the spice level according to your taste.
- The salad can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, making for quick assembly when needed.
