# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It uses up leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken without feeling like leftovers at all.
  • The creamy lime dressing cuts through the sweetness of the BBQ sauce beautifully.
  • You can prep everything in advance and assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It's packed with protein and veggies, so you feel satisfied without feeling heavy.
02 -
  • Don't skip warming the tortillas or they'll crack when you try to roll them, and you'll lose half your filling.
  • If you're making these ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss everything together right before assembling to avoid soggy wraps.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the wraps cleanly, or the filling will squeeze out the sides.
03 -
  • If your BBQ sauce is very sweet, add an extra squeeze of lime juice to the dressing to balance it out.
  • Warm tortillas one at a time and keep them covered with a clean towel so they stay soft while you assemble the rest.
  • Roll the wraps as tightly as you can without tearing the tortilla so the filling doesn't fall out when you bite into it.
