FAQs
Can I use pre‑cooked or rotisserie chicken?
Yes—simply warm the chicken strips and proceed with assembly. Be sure to season or toss with a bit of garlic powder and paprika for extra flavour.
Is it okay to use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes—but drain excess liquid in regular yogurt so the sauce isn’t too runny. Greek yogurt gives better creaminess and thickness.
How far ahead can I prep these?
You can cook the chicken and make the sauce ahead. Keep tortillas separate until ready to assemble to maintain freshness.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely—swap the chicken for grilled tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas spiced similarly. The yogurt‑garlic sauce works beautifully with veggie fillings.
