For the sauce:
½
cup
sour cream
¼
cup
salsa
1
Tablespoon
taco seasoning
For the wraps:
2
cups
chopped lettuce
1
cup
shredded cheddar cheese
½
cup
diced tomatoes
1
cup
salad topped tortilla strips
4
burrito-sized tortillas
1
pound
grilled chicken
sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning, set aside.
Add the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and tortilla strips in a large bowl. Add about 2 tablespoons of the sauce and gently stir to coat.
Lay out a tortilla and add ¼ of the lettuce mixture into the bottom center of the wrap. Then place ¼ of the chicken on top.
Fold the two outer sides over the filling, then tightly roll from bottom to top to make a little package.
Cut the wrap in half, then make the remaining tortillas. Serve with the extra dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
Use a more sturdy lettuce like green leaf or romaine.
If you don’t have or can't find the tortilla strips, you can crush up regular tortillas or even your favorite Doritos.
Other cheese that would be good, colby jack, monterey jack, or pepper jack.
Use Catalina or just sour cream if you don’t want to make the dressing. Guacamole or salsa would work too.
I used the frozen, store-bought grilled chicken and thawed it in the fridge overnight and used it cold.
This is perfect for using up any leftover chicken you may have on hand, or even using rotisserie chicken.
These should try to be consumed right away, The tortilla strips may become soggy, and the lettuce may wilt if they sit too long.
If making to carry for lunch, wrap well with plastic wrap and keep in bag with a cool pack (best to make the day of not the night before if possible)
