Hot Day Chicken Wrap, Quick & Easy

Submitted by Bergy

"There are so many wraps but I think you will find this one a bit different, very hearty and tasty. It can be a "Do ahead" recipe by preparing all the ingredients ahead of time, place them in the fridge, assemble just before lunch. I like to use a Spring mix Lettuce that has Arugula in it but Iceberg lettuce is fine. The eggs are optional but they do add flavor."

This was delicious! I love the flavor of the dressing and the slight crunch of the pecans. I'll make this again for sure! Thank you!

I really loved this easy lunch recipe. It was a delicious combination of flavors, making for a healthy and filling lunch. I used sun dried tomato tortillas, which were an excellent complement to the filling ingredients. Thanks for a wonderful wrap recipe. I'll definitely be making these again! *Made for RSC 10 contest*
