Quick Swaps & Changes

Love these wraps but need to switch things up? Try these tasty options:

• Skip the mozzarella and use pepper jack for a spicy kick
• Swap chicken for grilled shrimp – just cook until pink and firm
• Not a fan of pineapple? Sweet mango works great too
• Try green onions instead of red for a milder flavor
• Use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a lighter meal

Make It Perfect Every Time

A few friendly tips to make your wraps amazing:

• Cut your chicken into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly
• Pat the pineapple dry to keep your wraps from getting soggy
• Warm your tortillas slightly for easier rolling
• Don’t overfill – leave about 2 inches at the edges for rolling
• If meal prepping, pack the lettuce separately to keep it crisp

Serving Ideas

Turn these wraps into a full meal with some fun sides:

• Sweet potato fries with extra BBQ sauce for dipping
• Fresh coleslaw with a light vinegar dressing
• Grilled corn on the cob
• Hawaiian macaroni salad
• A simple green salad with ranch dressing

Want to make it party-friendly? Cut the wraps into pinwheels and serve them as appetizers!

Storage Tips

Got leftovers? Here’s how to keep them fresh:

• Store wrapped chicken mixture separate from tortillas
• Keep prepped ingredients in separate containers
• Use within 3 days when stored in the fridge
• Heat chicken mixture before assembling new wraps
• Add fresh lettuce and cilantro when ready to serve
