Start by preparing the SST (Southwest sauce) in a small bowl.

Add jalapeno juice and about a teaspoon of lemon juice to the bowl.

Chop up pickles and add them to the bowl with the sauce.

Mix the sauce well, ensuring to season it to your preference since the lettuce and wrap don't add flavor.

In a separate bowl, add chopped cooked chicken from the store.

Add chopped celery and scallions to the chicken.

Include a small amount of grapes and diced red bell peppers for texture.

Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring it's not too loose.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.

Cook bacon until crispy, then set aside.

Prepare green leaf lettuce as the wrap base.

Lay down the lettuce leaves and spoon the chicken salad mixture onto each leaf.

Add crispy bacon on top of the chicken salad.

Wrap the lettuce around the filling, committing to the wrap process.

Slice the wrap diagonally with a serrated knife to serve.
