  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, celery, red onion, dill, and parsley.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

  • 4. Assemble the Wraps:

  • Lay out a lettuce leaf on a clean surface.
  • Place a tortilla on top of the lettuce leaf.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the tortilla.
  • Roll up the tortilla tightly, using the lettuce leaf to help contain the filling.

  • Total Time: Approximately 45 minutes
