FAQs

Can I prepare these wraps in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. For best results, keep the vegetables separate until just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Can I freeze the wraps?

While these wraps can be frozen, the fresh vegetables may become wilted upon thawing. It’s best to freeze only the chicken mixture and tortillas separately, then assemble fresh wraps after thawing.
