Cooking Questions & Answers
- → How can I make the chicken less crispy?
For a softer texture, grill or pan-sear chicken breast strips instead of baking crispy tenders.
- → Is it possible to make the dressing lighter?
Substituting half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt results in a lighter, tangier dressing while maintaining creaminess.
- → Can I add other vegetables to the wrap?
Yes, sliced avocado, jalapeños, or bell peppers add flavor and texture to the wrap.
- → What is the best way to warm the tortillas?
Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable for rolling.
- → How do I store leftovers?
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Avoid sogginess by keeping dressing separate.
