Notes
Substitutes:
- Meat: we love this with chicken but you may use any other meat of choice
- Oil: olive oil was used, which can be replaced with any other oil like avocado oil
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt would be ideal, but you can sub this with any other yogurt of choice or you a dairy-free option
- Anchovy fillets: not everyone liked this, so it optional
- Tortilla: use any low carb option tortilla
- Serving size is one full wrap (two halves)
- Wrap your leftover chicken wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. It is best to consume this sooner than later to prevent it from getting soggy. Serve cold when ready to eat. We do not recommend freezing.
