Recipe Faq's
Can I use a different sauce?
If Chipotle mayo isn't for you, change it out for something you prefer.Ranch dressing is a very common choice- using that makes theseChicken Ranch Wraps and they're always delish. Or tryhoney mustard, or somebbq sauce to make abbq chicken wrap. Like some heat? Try some buffalohot sauce for someBuffalo Chicken Wraps.
What else can I add to these wraps?
Make theperfect recipe by adding any otherfresh veggies, cheese, or other ingredients that you like. I think these wraps would be good with bacon bits, or some other veggies like cooked orange orred peppers, or some fresh mozzarella orfeta cheese mixed in with thechicken filling.You could add some rice orblack beans
to really bulk these out, but if you're adding a bit, I'd suggest seeing if a larger tortilla would work better.Add anything you would like in these wraps, it's agreat way to use up leftover veggies in the fridge.
Can I make the chicken on the stovetop?
Yes, heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place the chicken into the skillet and cook 4-5 minutes then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
How do you fold a chicken wrap?
Place the filling in the middle of the tortilla. Fold the ends over the filling first. Then roll the wrap away from you until sealed. Here is an easy tutorial.
