FAQs

Can I use raw chicken instead of cooked chicken? Yes, but you will need to cook the chicken first. Boil or grill it until fully cooked, shred it and then follow the recipe.

Can I substitute cream cheese with something else? Yes, you can use Greek yogurt or low-fat cream cheese as a lighter option.

How do I make these wraps crispy? For extra crispiness, brush the outside of the wraps with a little oil before cooking, or grill them instead of frying for a crunchy texture.
