Tips
- Use Leftover Chicken: To save time, use leftover rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken for a quick meal prep.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the bell peppers and onions for other low-carb veggies like cucumbers or shredded carrots for added crunch and flavor.
- Make It Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture for a spicy kick that elevates the flavor profile.
- Chill Your Filling: For an extra refreshing taste, chill the chicken mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before assembling the wraps.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: Consider serving these wraps with a side of low-carb dipping sauce, such as a spicy mayo or a tangy vinaigrette, to enhance the experience.
