Storing and Reheating Tips

FAQ

1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
   Absolutely! Thighs add extra juiciness. Just cook them a few minutes longer to ensure they’re fully tender.
2. How do I make this gluten-free?
   Swap flour tortillas for gluten-free wraps or lettuce cups. Double-check labels on spices and mayo for hidden gluten.
3. Can I prep the chicken ahead of time?
   Yes! Marinate the chicken overnight for even bolder flavor. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
4. What’s a substitute for mayo in the sauce?
   Greek yogurt or avocado crema work great for a lighter, tangy twist.
5. Can I freeze these wraps?
   Freeze the cooked chicken (sauce-free) for up to 1 month. Assemble wraps fresh to avoid soggy tortillas.
