Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional for added creaminess)

1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

1/2 cup red grapes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup walnuts or almonds, chopped (optional for crunch)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Fresh spinach or lettuce leaves, for wrapping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If your chicken breast is not pre-cooked, grill or boil it until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly before shredding or dicing it into bite-sized pieces.

    Make the Dressing: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, optional mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth, creating a creamy dressing.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, finely chopped celery, halved red grapes, red onion, and optional nuts to the dressing. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or spoon, ensuring that everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

        Taste and Adjust: Sample the chicken salad mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice based on your flavor preferences.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take your tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface. Place a few leaves of fresh spinach or crisp lettuce in the center of each tortilla. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture over the greens.

            Wrap the Tortillas: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling. Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upwards to encase the mixture. Press gently as you roll to ensure everything holds together well.

              Serve: Slice the wraps in half for easier handling and enjoy immediately. Alternatively, wrap each one in parchment paper for a convenient on-the-go meal.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the wraps on a colorful platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color. For an added touch, slice the wraps diagonally and arrange them semi-standing for a visually appealing display.
