✨ Mediterranean Chef Tips

  • Substitute chicken with shredded lamb, turkey, or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Add crumbled feta inside for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • Replace heavy cream with extra yogurt + olive oil for a lighter version.
  • Add olives or artichokes to the filling for a richer taste.
  • Brush tortillas lightly with olive oil before baking to prevent dryness.

📦 Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days.
  • Reheat in oven at 160°C (325°F) to keep wraps from getting soggy.
  • Can be frozen unbaked — just thaw and bake normally.
