Classic Chicken Salad Wraps
with roasted potato wedges

Active: 35 Total: 60

We love a fancy chicken salad, but there's always room in our hearts for the original. Stuff it into your favorite wraps for a quick, satisfying dinner that can also travel well for lunches or outings.
Smarts:
The key to getting the creamy texture of classic, deli-style chicken salad is to finely chop the chicken and vegetables. If you prefer your chicken salad more on the chunky side, feel free to leave it in larger pieces.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.

  2. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan. Toss potato wedges with cooking oil and then season with garlic powder (portion for potatoes), salt, paprika, and pepper (portion for potatoes). Spread potatoes out on the wire rack so that none of the potatoes are touching.

  3. Roast potato wedges until tender and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

  4. While potatoes are roasting, slice the lettuce and chop the tomatoes. Set out tortilla wraps.

  5. If chicken salad was made ahead of time, give it a stir.

  6. When potatoes are nearly done, assemble wraps. Lay tortillas out onto a clean work surface. Spread chicken salad down the center and top with lettuce and tomatoes. Roll up the tortilla, tucking the sides in as you go. Repeat with remaining wraps.

  7. Slice wraps in half and serve with roasted potato wedges on the side. Feel free to include any dipping sauces you like. Enjoy!
