Notes
For extra flavor, add crispy bacon or sliced avocado. Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber. The wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the salad filling in advance and assemble just before serving. For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more croutons or roasted chickpeas.
