Tortilla with chicken strips - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe gluten-free. The texture may vary slightly, but it will still work well for coating the chicken.
Greek yogurt or sour cream can be used as a healthier alternative to mayonnaise. For a dairy-free option, try avocado or hummus for a creamy texture.
Replace the chicken with seasoned grilled tofu, mushrooms, or paneer. Coat and fry them similarly for a delicious vegetarian version.
Yes, for a healthier option, bake the breaded chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Lightly spray with oil for crispiness.
Yes, you can bread and cook the chicken strips 1-2 days in advance. Store them in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up before assembling.
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry skillet or oven for best texture.
It's best to freeze the cooked chicken strips separately. Assemble the wraps fresh when ready to eat, as freezing and thawing can make the tortilla soggy.
Serve with fresh salsa, guacamole, roasted vegetables, or a light side salad for a balanced meal. A cooling yogurt dip also complements the flavors.
Yes, use lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps instead of flour tortillas. Substitute almond or coconut flour for the batter to reduce carbs further.
Warm the tortilla slightly before assembling to make it more pliable. Avoid overfilling, and fold the sides in first, then roll tightly to secure the filling.
