Cooking Guide

What type of chicken works best in this wrap?

Crispy chicken tenders are used here, but grilled chicken breast is a great alternative for a healthier twist.

Can I make the southwest dressing lighter?

Yes, substituting half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt can lighten the dressing while keeping the creamy texture.

What vegetables are included in the wrap?

Fresh romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, black beans, and sautéed corn add freshness and texture.

Are there options to add more flavor or heat?

Sliced avocado or jalapeños can be added to introduce extra flavor and a mild kick.

What type of tortillas are recommended?

Large flour tortillas work well, but whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives can be used based on dietary needs.
