Tips for Success Grilled Chicken Wrap with Chipotle Mayo

Use warm chicken: Briefly reheat slices in a skillet or microwave for juicier texture.
Don’t overfill: Keep a modest amount of filling for easy rolling and no burst wraps.
Make your own chipotle mayo: Mix 1/4 cup mayo with 1–2 tsp adobo (chipotle) sauce to taste.
Prep veggies ahead: Chop lettuce and peppers and store crisp in an airtight container.
Toast the tortilla: Warm the wrap in a dry skillet 15–20 seconds per side to seal and prevent soggy wraps.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this ahead for meal prep?

A: Yes — assemble without slicing the wrap, wrap tightly in plastic or foil, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add tomatoes or wetter ingredients right before eating if you want maximum crispness.

Q: How do I keep the tortillas from getting soggy?

A: Layer mayo directly on the tortilla first, then add chicken and greens. Place drier ingredients (lettuce) next to the wrap interior and add juicy items like tomatoes sparingly or right before serving.

Q: What’s a good substitute for chipotle mayo?

A: Use plain mayo mixed with a dash of smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne, or swap for a Greek yogurt chipotle sauce for a lighter option.

Q: Can I use flour or corn tortillas?

A: Large flour tortillas work best for rolling and holding fillings, but warmed corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free or smaller handheld option.
