Common Recipe Questions
- → What is the best way to cook the chicken tenders?
Baking the chicken tenders as per package instructions yields a crispy texture. For a healthier option, grilling chicken breast works well too.
- → How can I make the southwest dressing milder?
Reduce or omit the taco seasoning, and consider substituting half the salsa with extra mayonnaise or a mild yogurt alternative.
- → Can I prepare this wrap ahead of time?
Assemble the ingredients separately and store in the fridge. Assemble wraps just before serving to keep tortillas from becoming soggy.
- → What are suitable alternatives for flour tortillas?
Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas can be used without compromising taste or texture significantly.
- → How do I add extra heat to the wrap?
Include sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce in the dressing to boost the spicy notes.
