Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded cooked chicken with the teriyaki sauce until the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful glaze.
- Lay Out Tortillas: Place the four large tortillas flat on a clean surface or cutting board to prepare for assembling the wraps.

- Add Fresh Vegetables: Top the chicken on each tortilla with shredded lettuce, grated carrots, sliced cucumbers, and chopped green onions to add crunch and freshness.
- Roll the Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to enclose all ingredients securely, creating a neat wrap.

Notes
- Use warm tortillas for easier rolling and better pliability.
- Substitute teriyaki sauce with low-sodium soy sauce mixed with honey for a lighter flavor.
- For a spicier version, add a drizzle of sriracha or chopped chili peppers inside the wrap.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh.
- Wraps can be prepared in advance, wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
