Spice Up Your Next Picnic with these Loaded Reina Pepiada Wraps! They’re ready in a breeze and make up the perfect quick summer meal with a Latin twist.
Chicken salad is a great go-to meal during the Summer because it requires little or no cooking since you can pick up a rotisserie chicken and just shred it up. Plus, you can make it ahead of time, which makes it perfect for picnics and potlucks. Everyone has their own version, and today I’m sharing my delicious, Venezuelan-inspired chicken salad wraps.
Let me tell you why I chose this name for the wraps. In Venezuela is very famous an Arepa filled with chicken, mayonnaise, onion, and avocado. This combination of flavors is known as Reina Pepiada, which translate to “Curvy Queen”. This arepa was named like that to honor a beauty queen back in the 50’s. Since is one of the most popular arepas around the world, I thought it would be a great idea to make a wrap with the same filling.
I wasn’t wrong because…
These Loaded Reina Pepiada Wraps are SUPER delicious!
I used Flatout flatbread to make these wraps. I seriously love Flatouts and I always have them on hand because it’s so easy to use them. They are perfect to throw together an easy and quick meal with anything you have. Every Flatout is a blank canvas; it’s a perfect partner to help people of all ages make healthier choices.
These have all the best parts of a Reina Pepiada Arepa – loaded with lettuce and tomato – wrapped up into one perfect meal!
Give your next picnic a Latin twist with these Loaded Reina Pepiada Wraps. They will make your picnic basket so happy!

Reina Pepiada! It takes me right to my childhood! What would you recommend is the best way to store it without it turning brown in the fridge? I’ve heard of a little addition of vinegar or lime juice. Do you have any secrets?
Hello Sahar! I usually add the avocado pits into the container and then and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface. You can also add a little bit of lime juice if you want. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
I love Reina Pepiada and it looks delish is a wrap. I’d love to see more chicken or pork recipes, ala Venezuela!
Hello Patty! Thanks so much for stopping by. I will add more “a la Venezolana” recipes to my calendar. Abrazos 🤗
Reina Pepiada! Hard to not pull out my harina pan!!
Agree Madeline! But this wrap version is delicious too ???? Thanks for stopping by!
Chicken salad is totally my summer go-to, and this looks incredible! Love the ease of a pre-made filling and the convenience of these wraps– no silverware needed! Definitely trying these soon!
Hi Karly, please let me know how you like them!! Thanks for stopping by =)
Love the GIF! i can never get my wraps to roll up as beautifully as yours and I think it’s because I lay the lettuce in the wrong direction. These ingredients look tasty – can’t wait to try it myself.
Thanks Renee!! I didn’t do any of those fancy folds, I just rolled them up. Please let me know how you like the recipe.
Checked out their store locator and they stock Flatout Flatbread at my neighborhood grocery store too! I love a good wrap sandwich but, I don’t think I’ve ever used avocados but I will try it out now. Your wrap looks seriously good!
Thanks April!! You’re very kind ?
How funny, I’ve been totally craving a good wrap for several days and then BAM!! Here it is like you read my mind! ?? I love FlatOut!
What a coincidence, Gwen!! Yay for getting your craving satisfied!
Oh those flatbreads are so neat! I don’t think I’ve seen them before. And these wraps look very tasty. Avocado and chicken is one of my favorite pairings, so these must be amazing!!
They truly are, Tracy!! Hope you give them a try soon ?
I don’t know why, but it never occurs to me to make wraps at home… I love them, but I never have those flatbreads around. I’ll have to make a point to pick some up next time I’m at the market!
Checked out their store locator (link in post), Lisa! Hope you can find them soon. Thanks for stopping by!
