Notes
- Customization: Feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. You can add or omit any ingredients based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the chicken, quinoa, and tzatziki sauce in advance to save time when assembling the wraps later. Store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Storage: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftover assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the tortillas may become slightly soggy over time, so it’s best to assemble them just before serving if possible.
- Protein Options: If you prefer, you can substitute the shredded chicken with grilled tofu, chickpeas, or your choice of protein for a vegetarian version of the wraps.
- Serving Suggestions: These wraps are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a side salad, fresh fruit, or a bowl of soup for a more substantial meal.
- Transportation: If you’re packing these wraps for lunch or a picnic, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from unraveling. You can also secure them with toothpicks to keep them together.
