Easy

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Serves: 4

This Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe makes good use of leftover chicken from Oven Baked Whole Chicken, Rotisserie Chicken Rub Recipe or Roast Chicken with Garlic, Orange and Rosemary Rub.

Ingredients:

4 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 cup Salsa Recipe

1 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated

½ red bell pepper, diced

mixed salad leaves or baby spinach leaves

4 - 6 soft tortilla wraps (depending on size)

Method:

Divide the Salsa Recipe between the wraps. Spread it almost to the edge of each wrap.
Scatter over the chicken, allowing about a cup of chicken per wrap. Scatter over about ¼ cup cheese per wrap. Then sprinkle over the red bell pepper and mixed salad leaves. Roll the wraps fairly tightly.
Roll the chicken wraps in greaseproof paper and "tweak" the ends to secure them.
