Keep It Fresh
To keep your wraps fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them individually, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy again, thaw them overnight in the fridge and warm them in a skillet to regain that delicious crunch.
Betty’s Secrets
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to your filling for a zesty kick that brightens the flavor.
- For extra creaminess, mix in some avocado or guacamole with the chicken mixture.
- Don’t skip grilling the wraps! That slight char elevates the overall taste and texture.
- If you like a kick, consider adding diced jalapeños for some heat.
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time on prep without sacrificing flavor.
Creative Twists
- In the fall, try adding roasted butternut squash instead of bell peppers for a sweet, seasonal twist.
- During summer, swap the Greek yogurt for a tangy avocado crème, adding a fresh and creamy element.
- For a classic twist, incorporate some BBQ sauce with the chicken and add coleslaw for a Southern flair.
