- Shred the chicken while it is still warm for better flavor.
- Don’t overfill the wraps or they might tear.
- Use a sharp knife for a clean diagonal cut.
- Add a handful of fresh summer berries on the side.
- Double the spices for a bolder, smokier taste.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Swap ranch for buffalo sauce for a spicy kick.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a nutritious boost.
- Add sliced avocado for extra creaminess.
- In summer, swap romaine for fresh garden spinach.
