Instructions

Combine Chicken Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes. Mix gently to blend the ingredients without mashing the avocado.
Prepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Mix Dressing with Chicken Salad: Pour the dressing into the bowl with the chicken mixture. Fold the dressing carefully into the salad until all components are evenly coated and combined.
Assemble the Wraps: Take a fresh romaine lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad onto the center of the leaf.
Wrap and Serve: Carefully wrap the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a neat wrap. Repeat with remaining leaves and chicken salad. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, flavorful wraps.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, crispy romaine lettuce leaves to ensure sturdy wraps.
You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
For spice lovers, add a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes to the dressing.
If you prefer, chicken can be grilled or roasted prior to shredding for added flavor.
This recipe can be made ahead and stored separately; assemble just before serving to maintain lettuce crispness.
