Smoked Chicken Salad Wraps



Here's a sure cure for the Tuesday blaahhhs.  How about some Chicken Salad Wraps for lunch today?  You can serve these cold, or grill them slightly on a sandwich press (we use a George Foreman grill) or in a skillet.  Smoking the chicken first gives it a really nice added flavor.   Top with anything you like.
