I'm interested in this, but all the low-sodium canned chicken seems to contain phosphate additives. I suppose I could just cook a little chicken. Dietitian comment: Seems like phosphate additives are showing up everywhere. Yes you can use cooked chicken instead of the canned chicken. It gives you more control over the sodium too.

Recipe is confusing. Tortillas are not mentioned as ingredients, yet magically appear in the last preparation step with no description of how they are to be used. Dietitian comment: Thanks for calling that out. The whole wheat lavash in the ingredient list is interchangeable with tortillas. I updated the recipe when we made the photo but forgot to make the change in the preparation notes. I have made a clarification--hope this helps!

I used green onions instead of bell peppers. However, there's a mistake in the kidney cookbook. It lists this recipe with having 1/2 cup mayo instead of 1/4 cup. Unfortunately, I used the 1/2 cup and noticed the change here. Dietitian comment: Thank you for letting us know about the error. We will correct it to 1/4 cup.

Wouldn't it be easier to mix all of the ingredients together except for the tortilla and then add the mix onto each tortilla?

I guess I'll have to use low fat tortillas & unsalted home made chicken (broiled, steamed,sautee) for end stage CKD??

I buy a rotisserie chicken and remove the skin and bones. I am then ready to make recipes like this

Processed foods like canned chicken contain excess salt and sometimes lose nutritional value. Wraps should be high fiber, low cal.

Try rinsing the canned chicken with water a few times and drain it. This gets rid of most of the salt.
