FAQs

How can I prevent my wraps from getting soggy?

To avoid sogginess, apply sauce sparingly and layer lettuce first before adding moist ingredients.

Pair with a side salad, fruit, soup, or chips for a complete meal.

Wrap them tightly and secure with a toothpick or wrap them in foil or parchment paper.

Shredded turkey, grilled shrimp, or cooked tofu are great alternatives to chicken.
