01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

→ Vegetables & Greens

03 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
04 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

12 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Wraps

13 - 4 large spinach tortillas, 10-inch

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and mix thoroughly until chicken is evenly coated.
02 - In a separate small bowl, whisk together light mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
03 - Add romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and corn to the chicken mixture. Pour dressing over top and toss until all components are evenly coated.
04 - Heat spinach tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave for 30-45 seconds to increase pliability.
05 - Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface and distribute chicken salad mixture evenly among all four wraps.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form compact wraps, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
07 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately while flavors are fresh.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It uses whatever cooked chicken you have on hand, so rotisserie birds and meal prep leftovers finally have a second act.
  • The smoky paprika in the dressing adds a layer most wraps miss, turning simple into something you actually crave.
  • Everything stays crisp and fresh because you toss it all together right before serving.
  • It packs beautifully for lunch without getting soggy if you wrap it tightly in foil.
02 -
  • Do not skip warming the tortillas, cold ones crack the moment you try to fold them and your filling ends up on the counter.
  • Toss the salad just before assembling, because if it sits too long the lettuce wilts and the whole thing loses its texture.
  • If your chicken is dry, add an extra tablespoon of BBQ sauce or a splash of the dressing to bring it back to life.
03 -
  • Use rotisserie chicken from the store and this comes together in under fifteen minutes, no cooking required.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, they might be too cold or too dry, so warm them gently and don't overfill.
  • A squeeze of fresh lime over the finished wrap right before you eat it wakes up all the flavors one last time.
