Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
- Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
- Season the chicken salad with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Lay out each tortilla flat. Place a small bed of mixed greens down the center of the wrap.
- Spoon one-quarter of the chicken salad mixture over the greens on each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure wrap.
- Slice the wraps in half if desired, and serve immediately for a fresh, happy lunch.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute pecans for walnuts if you prefer.
- For extra zest, add a tablespoon of finely chopped celery.
- If you want to make this ahead, keep the chicken salad stored separately and assemble the wraps just before eating.
