Tips for Perfect Wraps

For an even richer flavor, try marinating the chicken in lime juice and spices beforehand. Don’t shy away from extra veggies for a nutritional boost—think corn, bell peppers, or diced onions. If you prefer it spicy, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
