💡 Tips for Success

  • Don’t overcook the chicken—it will remain juicy in the wrap.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.

  • Make ahead: Prepare chicken and sauce in advance; assemble wraps when ready to eat.

🔄 Variations

  • Buffalo Style: Toss chicken in buffalo sauce before adding to wrap.
  • Low-Carb Option: Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.

  • Fresh salad
  • Coleslaw
  • Pickles or chips

🧊 Storage
