Instructions
- Remove any bones and skin from the leftover rotisserie chicken and chop it into bite-sized pieces. You can warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop if you prefer.

- To assemble the wraps, start with the chicken, followed by the sautéed vegetables, diced tomato, and a drizzle of the sauce. Top with the lettuce and cucumber slices. Roll up the tortilla and serve.
