Recipe Questions

What type of chicken works best for the wraps?

Grilled, fried, or rotisserie chicken all provide great flavor and texture, allowing flexibility based on preference or leftovers.

How can I keep the wraps from becoming soggy?

Keep the salad filling and tortillas separate until ready to serve and ensure the dressing isn’t overly applied to avoid sogginess.

Are there good vegetarian alternatives to the chicken?

Omitting chicken and adding extra croutons or roasted chickpeas creates a satisfying vegetarian option with added crunch.

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes, the salad filling can be made ahead and stored separately; assemble with warmed tortillas just before serving for best texture.

What variations can enhance the flavor?

Adding crispy bacon or sliced avocado introduces smoky or creamy layers, enhancing the overall taste experience.
