Tips and Variations
- Swap mozzarella for light feta or cheddar if you want a different flavour.
- Add grilled peppers, mushrooms, or courgettes for more fibre.
- Use turkey strips instead of chicken for a leaner option.
- Try chickpeas or lentils instead of chicken for a vegetarian version.
- Add a thin layer of avocado for healthy fats and creaminess.
- Add chilli flakes, jalapeños, or a little sriracha if you like it spicy.
- Serve hot with a crisp salad for a light meal.
- This works well for meal prep and reheats nicely for lunch the next day.
Meal Storage
Store any leftover tortillas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry pan or sandwich press so they stay crisp. Don’t microwave for too long, or they’ll go soggy. Store the salad separately and add it just before eating.
