For the Chicken Salad

- 0.5 count Lemon Zest Brightens up flavors beautifully; lime juice can work as a fun twist!
- 0.5 count Lemon Juice
- 1 oz Parmesan Cheese Finely grated; skip this for a dairy-free version.

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by finely dicing the celery and tomatoes. Slice the green onions, grate the carrot, chop the spinach, and zest and juice the lemon.
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth, then add the lemon juice, dill, pepper, and Parmesan.
- Gently fold in the shredded chicken and all your prepared veggies until everything is evenly coated.
- Heat the tortillas in a skillet for 20-30 seconds or microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Spoon 1 to 1.5 cups of the chicken salad mixture slightly off-center on each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
- Enjoy the wraps fresh, or toast them seam-side down in a skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden.
Notes
Store the chicken salad mixture in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep tortillas and fresh veggies separate from the chicken salad to maintain crispness.
