Crispy Chicken Wraps

1/3 cup mayonnaise, light or regular
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 scallions, sliced very thin
2 celery ribs, chopped fine
2 tablespoons sour cream, light or regular
2 teaspoons hot sauce (this does not make them spicy but adds great flavor!)
1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups) (I boiled and shredded some chicken breasts)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 (12-inch) flour tortillas

1. Whisk the mayonnaise, cilantro, scallions, celery, sour cream and hot sauce in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to combine.

2. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray.

3. Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.

* I made these slightly different than the recipe says to do. I made them more like quesadillas. I sprinkled cheese on half the tortilla, spread chicken mixture over that, then sprinkled some more cheese over the top of that. After putting them on the griddle for a few seconds, I folded the tortilla in half. The original recipe called for only 4 flour tortillas but I was actually able to make about double that with 3 chicken breasts. I hate celery and was a bit worried I wouldn't like these with it in it but they were great! My husband couldn't get enough of these. They were super easy and full of great flavor! These will definitely be made again in our house!
