What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For easy meal prep, make a larger batch of the chicken salad filling and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps just before eating to prevent them from getting soggy.
- 2Use a rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and shredding the chicken breast.
- 3Feel free to add other crisp vegetables like diced celery, cucumber, or bell peppers for extra crunch and nutrients.
- 4For a bit of extra flavor, lightly warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side before assembling.
- 5If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill instead.
