another 2 minutes. Cut a piece of chicken to make sure it is fully cooked.

Tips and
Substitutions
Serve with a small green salad
to round out the meal.
No Tony's?
What, your pantry is not stocked with an ample supply of Tony's seasonings? If not, try making a mixture of salt, cayenne pepper, and a bit of
chili powder. Substitute this mixture for Tony's. It's not the same but it
will still be tasty.
Presentation
Wraps are frequently served cut in half, on the diagonal.
What's a Wrap?
In most cases this is just a
variation on a burrito. The term wrap simply means a mixture rolled up and encased
in some form of wrapper. In this case the wrapper is a tortilla. It may well
be a lettuce leaf or pastry dough.
How to Wrap a Wrap
Fold in sides of tortilla over
the filling; fold up bottom and continue to roll up, enclosing the filling. |
