Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, sugar (if using), tarragon, salt, celery salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add in the chopped cooked chicken, diced celery, dried cranberries, and pecans. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Lay out each wrap on a flat work surface. Divide the shredded lettuce among the wraps evenly.
Top each wrap with approximately ½ cup of the chicken salad mixture.
Carefully wrap the tortillas around the filling, tucking in the ends as you go, to create neat rolls.
Slice the wraps in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

For added flavor, try toasting the wraps briefly before assembling for a warm option. These wraps store well and can be made ahead of time. Just assemble them before serving for the freshest taste.
