Alternative Ingredients

| Ingredient | Alternative Option |
|---|---|
| Chicken | Turkey, beef, or tofu |
| Plain yogurt | Mayonnaise or sour cream |
| Tortilla | Pita bread or lettuce wrap |
| Olive oil | Butter or vegetable oil |
| Cheddar cheese | Feta or parmesan |
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the cooked chicken to the pan and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
- In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be your sauce.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a spoonful of the yogurt sauce over the tortilla.
- Add a handful of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
- Place a portion of the cooked chicken on top of the vegetables.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
- If you want a crispy wrap, place the rolled wraps on a dry pan and heat for 1 minute on each side.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker meal.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent them from tearing.
- If using lettuce wraps instead of tortillas, double the lettuce to hold everything in place.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- Add hot sauce or chili flakes if you like a little spice.
