Chicken salad wraps are a fresh and satisfying meal, perfect for lunch or a light dinner. This version combines tender shredded chicken with the crisp sweetness of Washington Granny Smith apples, crunchy pecans, and tart dried cranberries for a balanced bite. Celery adds extra crunch, while a creamy blend of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt brings everything together with a touch of tang from lemon juice. Wrapped in a soft tortilla with crisp lettuce, this salad transforms into a portable, flavorful meal that is both wholesome and delicious.

This is a great recipe for meal-prepping for the week or for a quick dish for a casual gathering, these chicken salad wraps are a crowd-pleaser. The contrast of textures and flavors: sweet, savory, creamy, and crunchy makes every bite delicious. Plus, with the protein from chicken and healthy fats from pecans, they are as nourishing as they are tasty. Serve them chilled for a refreshing meal or lightly toast the tortillas on a hot pan with a little oil after making your wrap for a warm and comforting twist.
