The filling and the dressing were delicious - I loved the tarragon flavor. I used sour cream instead of cream fraiche.

This was good - I doubled the recipe and made wraps with the Chicken filling. They were good for dinner, but also made a pretty good breakfast. I had no luck finding the creme fraiche so I used heavy cream that I already had in the house. It worked out fine. Will do this again.
