Chicken Salad Wrap—loaded with tomatoes, avocado, and crisp lettuce. It’s fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying!
Easy And Delicious Chicken Salad Wrap
I’m a chicken salad fanatic—chicken salad with apples, dill pickle chicken salad, pineapple chicken salad, you name it! It comes together in minutes, is packed with protein, and makes the most delicious lunch.
While prepping my usual lunch, I realized I was out of bread and wasn’t in the mood for a lettuce wrap. Then it hit me—why not put my favorite chicken salad recipe in a wrap? And let me tell you, it’s a game changer!
Ingredients
- Rotisserie Chicken: Main protein and flavor base.
- Celery: Adds crunch and freshness to the chicken salad wraps.
- Mayonnaise and Sour Cream: Provide creaminess and tang.
- Honey, Dijon Mustard, Lemon Juice: Balance flavor with sweetness, tanginess, and acidity.
- Whole Wheat Wraps: Healthy holder for ingredients.
- Romaine Lettuce, Roma Tomatoes, Avocado: Add texture and richness.
Quick Tip
Roma tomatoes are ideal for this recipe due to their firm, medium size and non-soggy texture. For larger, juicier tomatoes, halve and blot with a paper towel.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups prepared rotisserie chicken chopped into small pieces
- 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup mayo use full-fat
- 2 tablespoons sour cream fat-free or light
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1 lemon freshly squeezed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 whole wheat wraps see note 1
- 4 to 6 pieces washed and dried romaine lettuce
- 2 to 3 Roma tomatoes thinly sliced
- 1 large avocado thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place the chopped rotisserie chicken and celery in a large bowl.
- Add the mayo, sour cream, honey, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a generous (or to taste) sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until combined. Taste and adjust for seasonings (salt, pepper, additional lemon, etc.).
- Spread out the tortillas. Place 1–2 pieces of washed and completely dried romaine lettuce in the center (slightly to the right) of the tortilla. Layer the thinly sliced tomatoes on top and then the thin slices of avocado.
- Spoon the prepared chicken salad right on top. Gently roll up the tortilla, slice in half with a sharp knife, and enjoy immediately.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: The amount of tortillas and toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado) depends on how large your tortillas are and how loaded you want your wraps. I usually get 4 loaded Chicken Salad Wraps, but you can stretch it to get 6!
Storage: Store leftover Chicken Salad Wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If possible, keep the wraps and sauce separate to prevent sogginess.
