Prep time: 15–20 minutes
Cook time: 0–5 minutes (if chicken is already cooked)
Total time: 15–25 minutes

Variations

• Use shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience
• Add grated jicama or cucumber for extra crunch
• Substitute a gluten‑free wrap if needed
• Swap peanut butter for a sunflower seed butter for nut‑free options
