Storage and Reheating Tips

Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For best results, keep chilled with an ice pack or in a cooler. These wraps are not recommended for freezing or reheating—serve cold.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a light fruit salad, veggie sticks, or a small lentil soup. A green smoothie or mint iced tea complements the wrap well. Great for picnics, lunchboxes, or easy dinners.

Common Mistakes

Skipping the chill time: Reduces flavor
Overfilling the wrap: Makes it hard to roll
Using thin tortillas: More likely to tear
Forgetting the sauce seal: Wrap can open during storage

Recipe Variations

Spicy Version: Add chili flakes or sriracha
Vegan Option: Replace chicken with tofu and use vegan yogurt
Extra Crunch: Add shredded carrots or cabbage

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use plain mayo instead of yogurt?
Yes, but yogurt keeps it lighter and adds tang.

Do I need to chill the filling?
Yes, chilling helps the flavors blend and makes wrapping easier.

Can I use other greens?
Absolutely—arugula, romaine, or mixed greens all work well.
