Variations
-
I swap the chicken for grilled turkey, tofu, or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.

I use hummus or pesto instead of garlic spread for a different flavor profile.
-
I add sliced avocado or cucumbers for freshness.
-
I make it low-carb by using a lettuce wrap or low-carb tortilla.
storage/reheating
I wrap leftovers tightly in foil or parchment and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. For reheating, I warm the wrap in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and crispy. If I’m taking it on the go, I pack it cold and keep it in a cooler or lunch bag.
FAQs
Can I use leftover chicken?
Yes, I often use rotisserie chicken or leftovers from dinner—it makes prep even faster.
What’s the best spread for this wrap?
I love using a creamy garlic spread, but mayo, pesto, or herbed cream cheese all work great.
Can I make it ahead for lunch?
Absolutely. I make the wrap the night before, wrap it tightly, and store it in the fridge. I keep wet ingredients (like tomatoes) limited to avoid sogginess.
Is this wrap good cold?
Yes! I enjoy it warm or cold, depending on my mood. It’s flavorful enough to hold up without reheating.
What kind of tortilla works best?
I use a large, soft flour tortilla—it wraps easily without tearing and holds everything together.
Conclusion
Tuscan Chicken Wraps are a flavorful, satisfying option when I want something quick, portable, and packed with Italian-inspired ingredients. Whether I’m meal prepping, packing lunch, or throwing together a fast dinner, this wrap never fails to hit the spot.
