❔ FAQs
This type of cheese gets its name from the veins or spots of blue that are created by the addition of edible mold cultures. Don't worry, this "mold" is perfectly safe to eat, and gives blue cheese a uniquely salty and pungent quality.

This recipe combines a nice balance of ingredients and has a good amount of nutrition in it! The tomatoes and lettuce are great for some nutrients while the cooked chicken provides protein.

🥡 Storage
If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge for a day or two. I recommend storing the chicken mixture on its own if possible to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
You can also prepare the chicken mixture up to 3 days in advance and quickly assemble your wraps exactly when you need them!
🍴 What To Serve With This Dish
