Ingrediënten
Add a stock cube to the chicken cooking water for extra flavor and juicy meat.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste. Taste as you go and add more spices if needed.
Like it spicy? Add cayenne pepper, chili flakes, or sambal oelek to the chicken mix.
Use fresh herbs for more depth of flavor—you’ll taste the difference immediately.
Try different cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend to vary the filling.
Mix in other veggies like corn, beans, or carrots for extra nutrition and taste.
Reheat leftovers in the oven instead of the microwave to keep the wraps crispy.
Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. A fresh salad makes a great side too.
Try using whole wheat, lentil, or spinach wraps for a healthier twist.
Don’t like cinnamon? Leave it out, or replace it with a pinch of cayenne for warmth.
