Tips & Variations

  • Try substituting the chicken with grilled shrimp, turkey, or crispy tofu for different protein options.
  • Use whole wheat, low-carb, or spinach tortillas for a healthier alternative.
  • Make your own creamy garlic sauce for a fresher taste by mixing mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the wraps for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to keep the tortilla crispy and the cheese melted.
