Southwest Chicken Taco Wrap

I can say without a doubt if there is one thing kids love, it’s tacos! This wrap takes all the great flavors of a Tex-Mex style taco and freshens it up with diced chicken, a homemade sauce and crisp Romaine lettuce. It’s simple to make, travels well for remote meal service and is sure to be a crowd pleaser in the summertime as well as during the school year. The different flavor tortillas are optional, but I find if you can get them, they give these wraps striking visual appeal! Try making it with our homemade Pico de Gallo recipe instead of jarred salsa or adding some pickled red onions on the side to really take this dish over the top.
