# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It packs all the flavor of BBQ without any guilt, thanks to lean chicken and a yogurt-lightened dressing.
  • You can prep the chicken salad ahead and assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • The crunch from fresh veggies balances the smoky sauce perfectly, so every bite feels complete.
  • It travels beautifully, whether you're heading to the office or the park.
02 -
  • Don't skip warming the tortillas, cold ones crack and tear the moment you try to fold them.
  • Let the chicken cool completely before mixing with the vegetables, or the heat will wilt the lettuce and make everything soggy.
  • If you're packing these for later, wrap them tightly in parchment or foil to hold their shape.
03 -
  • Use two forks to shred warm rotisserie chicken, it's faster and the meat stays tender.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, they might be too dry, so lightly mist them with water before warming.
  • Taste your BBQ sauce before adding it, some brands are very sweet and might need a splash of vinegar to balance.
