1. Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking from scratch?

Either works! A good creamy garlic aioli or garlic yogurt sauce is perfect. 3. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes — use dairy-free cheese shreds and a plant-based garlic sauce. 4. What tortillas are best?

Yes — wrap in foil and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until warm and melty. 6. Is this kid-friendly?
Yes! It’s cheesy, mild, and easy to eat — just go easy on the garlic if they’re sensitive to strong flavors. 7. Can I prep this for lunches?
Perfectly! These wraps hold up well in the fridge and reheat beautifully. 8. Can I use other proteins?
Yes — try it with grilled shrimp, turkey breast, or tofu. 9. How do I prevent the tortilla from tearing?
Warm tortillas briefly before wrapping to make them more pliable. 10. Can I serve it cold?
