This quick-to-assemble wrap is a great way to use leftover chicken and to add vegetables to your diet.

Ingredients

  • 3 4-ounce chicken breasts (12 ounces total)
  • 2 whole chipotle peppers
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup low-calorie mayonnaise
  • 2 stalks celery, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks (about 1/2 cup)

  • 1/2 cup raw rutabaga or jicama, cut into matchsticks
  • 4 ounces raw spinach, chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 2 whole-grain tortillas (12-inch diameter)

Directions

Heat oven to 375 F or start grill. Bake or grill chicken breasts for about 10 minutes on each side until interior temperature is 165 F. Remove, cool and cube chicken.
