Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz Canned Chicken about ½ cup, drained
  • 2 tablespoons Ranch or Mayonnaise
  • ¼ teaspoon Seasoning any all-purpose
  • Lettuce Leaves
  • 1 large Tortilla

Equipment

  • Packed Lunches
  • Kids Lunch Box
  • ice pack

Method
 

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the canned chicken with the Ranch or Mayonnaise and your favorite seasoning. I like to use a fork to break up any larger chunks of chicken, ensuring everything is well-mixed. The consistency should be creamy and slightly chunky, perfect for spreading.
  2. Next, lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. This will be the base of your wrap. Don't be afraid to choose a flavored tortilla for an extra twist!
  3. On the tortilla, layer a couple of fresh lettuce leaves. This not only adds crunch but also a refreshing taste that balances the creaminess of the chicken mixture.
  4. Scoop the chicken mixture on top of the lettuce. Aim to place it in the center of the tortilla so it can be easily wrapped later on. Be generous; you want to ensure every bite is flavorful!
  5. Now comes the fun part: folding the wrap. Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then tuck one end over the chicken salad, rolling it tightly. This helps keep everything together.
  6. Once rolled, slice the wrap in half diagonally. This presentation makes it easier to handle and more appetizing!
  7. For serving, place the canned chicken wrap inside a lunchbox. I love adding healthy sides like fresh fruit or crunchy veggies in separate compartments to complete the meal.
  8. Finally, cover the lunchbox with its lid and refrigerate until you’re ready to pack it into your lunch bag. If you’re taking it on-the-go, consider adding an ice pack to keep it cool.
