Ingredients You’ll Need
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
To make these delicious wraps, you only need a few staples:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 4 large tortillas
Optional add-ins you may consider: chopped celery, paprika, lettuce, spinach, fresh dill, or even a sprinkle of cheese.
Let’s Get Started
Step 1: Prep the Eggs
Start by hard-boiling your eggs if you haven’t already. Once cooled, peel them and chop into small pieces. Aim for a slightly chunky texture so the salad has body.
Step 2: Mix the Egg Salad
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and green onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined but not mashed.
Step 3: Prepare Your Tortillas
Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. If they feel stiff, warm them for 10–15 seconds in the microwave so they become soft and easier to roll.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Spoon the egg salad into the center of each tortilla. Spread it into a line going across the center, leaving room on the sides for rolling.
Step 5: Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half diagonally if you prefer, and serve immediately—or wrap tightly for later.

Variations
Here are a few creative ways to switch up your egg salad wraps:
Herb Lovers
Add fresh dill, parsley, or chives for a bright, aromatic boost.
Crunchy Version
Stir in chopped celery, radishes, or pickles to give the salad extra texture.
Spicy Kick
Mix in a pinch of cayenne, crushed red pepper flakes, or hot sauce.
Greek-Inspired
Add crumbled feta, sliced cucumbers, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Low-Carb Option
Use low-carb tortillas or skip the wrap entirely and make egg salad lettuce cups.
Storage Tips
Egg salad stores beautifully, making this recipe ideal for planning ahead.
- Refrigerate egg salad in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
- Assembled wraps are best eaten within 24 hours so the tortillas don’t soften too much.
- For longer freshness, store the egg salad and tortillas separately and assemble just before serving.
Avoid freezing—it affects both the mayonnaise and the texture of the eggs.
FAQs
Can I make egg salad wraps ahead of time?
Yes! For best results, prepare the egg salad ahead of time and store it separately. Assemble the wraps the day you plan to eat them.
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise?
Absolutely. Replace all or part of the mayo with Greek yogurt to lighten things up while keeping the wrap creamy.
What’s the best tortilla to use?
Flour tortillas work best because they roll smoothly, but spinach or whole-wheat varieties also work great.
How can I make this dairy-free?
Just use a dairy-free mayo—everything else is naturally dairy-free.
Can I add extra protein?
Sure! Add chopped turkey, chicken, or even bacon bits for a heartier wrap.
