Cooking Guide
- → How do I get the chicken extra crispy?

- → Can I substitute the bacon?
Yes, turkey bacon or smoked ham can be used for a different flavor while keeping the smoky element.
- → What is the best way to warm the tortillas?
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 10–20 seconds or microwave them covered with a damp paper towel.
- → Are there tips for rolling the wrap without tearing?
