Chef Tips from the Video

- If you like extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce to the white sauce.
- For a gluten‑free version, substitute with low‑carb corn tortillas.
Troubleshooting
Chicken turns dry
Do not overcook; keep internal temperature at 155°F and let the meat rest before slicing.
Wrap becomes soggy
Pat lettuce and tomatoes dry, and add sauce sparingly. Wrap tightly and keep refrigerated.
Sauce separates
Whisk the sauce thoroughly and use room‑temperature mayo and sour cream.
Storage
Refrigerator: Wrap in foil and store up to 3 days.
Freezer: Not recommended – the fresh veggies become soggy after thawing.
Room temperature: Only safe for up to 2 hours if kept in a cooler.
Make-Ahead Tips
- Prepare the sauce and slice the veggies up to 2 days in advance.
- Cook all chicken at once, portion, and refrigerate for quick assembly.
- Wrap each roll in foil for grab‑and‑go convenience.
