I have had this recipe brewing around in my head for a while now. I wasn't quite sure how it would all come together. The flavors all sounded delightful but I was unsure how they would all taste together. I was pleasantly surprised. I got a huge thumbs up from my hubby too! It is not quite as creamy as normal chicken salad because of the mayo but it is still so very good! I am thinking of making my tortillas (recipe here) and doing wraps with the left overs for lunch tomorrow!
