🔪 Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

  • Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are lean and cook quickly. Swap with thighs for juicier wraps.

  • Seasoning: Cajun seasoning brings smoky heat. For a milder version, cut in half or swap with taco seasoning.

  • Tortillas: Use whole-wheat, gluten-free, or low-carb tortillas to fit your diet.

  • Cheese: Parmesan adds saltiness and depth; sharp cheddar balances with creaminess.

  • Ranch Dressing: Store-bought or homemade works. Greek yogurt ranch can lighten it up.

🍴 Variations & Serving Suggestions

  • Spicy Upgrade: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap.

  • Veggie Boost: Layer in bell peppers, cucumbers, or avocado for extra crunch.

  • Serving Ideas:

    • Pair with baked sweet potato fries or a side salad.

    • Cut in halves or thirds for a fun party appetizer.

    • Make into a wrap bowl by serving over rice or cauliflower rice instead of tortillas.

🥡 Storage & Make-Ahead

  • Storage: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat: Warm chicken in a skillet before assembling wraps.

  • Meal Prep Tip: Prep the chicken ahead of time; assemble wraps fresh to avoid soggy tortillas.
