Crispy Chicken Salad Wraps

By Venzie

When combined with the big flavors of cilantro, cheddar cheese, and hot sauce and wrapped in crisp tortillas, store-bought rotisserie chicken can be used to create this fast and flavorful Crispy Chicken Salad Wraps recipe. We discarded the skin and shredded the meat into bite-size pieces. We sprayed the assembled wraps with cooking spray and crisped them in a skillet until golden brown—about one minute. To boost our Crispy Chicken Salad Wraps’ flavor, we replaced some of the mayonnaise in our creamy dressing with a bit of sour cream and added some hot sauce for a spicy kick.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 scallions, sliced thin
• 2 celery ribs, chopped fine
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas

Preparation

Step 1

Serves 4

To prevent the wraps from unrolling during cooking, be sure to start them seam-side down in step 3.


1. Whisk mayonnaise, cilantro, scallions, celery, sour cream, and hot sauce in large bowl. Add chicken and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken salad in center of tortilla. Roll stuffed tortillas, spray all over with cooking spray, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.
