Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chicken Wrap
SERVES UP TO 6
Loaded with flavor and antioxidants, this wrap has it all. Don’t like or can’t eat a certain vegetable? Substitute your favorite alternative. For a sweeter variation, try it with your favorite barbeque sauce; add sliced red onions and shredded lettuce for extra crunch.
1 whole precooked chicken, deboned and sliced or shredded to equal 4 cups
½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 medium carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 medium cucumber, cut into matchsticks
3 tablespoons gluten-free vinaigrette, bottled or homemade (recipe on page 40)
- Gluten-free tortillas, wraps or flatbread (one per person)
1-1½ cups gluten-free barbeque sauce, optional
- Sliced red onions, optional
- Shredded lettuce, optional
1. In a large bowl, toss chicken, red peppers, carrots and cucumbers in vinaigrette.
2. Warm tortillas before filling so that they become more pliable. Wrap them in parchment or foil and place in a preheated 350-degree oven for 5 minutes or heat in a microwave oven for 20-30 seconds for each tortilla.
3. Fill warmed tortilla with chicken and vegetables and wrap, folding in the ends to contain filling.
4. Secure with toothpicks or waxed paper and place in chilled container until ready to eat. Keep chilled if not eating within an hour of preparation.
Optional Variation
Heat barbeque sauce in large saucepan over medium heat. Add shredded chicken and cook until heated through, about 8 minutes. Add optional vegetables, to taste. Place ingredients in warmed tortillas and wrap, folding in ends to contain filling.
