💡 Tips
- Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even quicker—just remove the skin for a leaner option.
- Chill the creamy chicken mixture for 20–30 minutes before assembling for even better flavor.
- Wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for easy grab-and-go lunches.
- Store the filling separately from the tortillas or lettuce if meal prepping to keep everything fresh.
