❓Q&A

Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
A: Yes! Chicken thighs stay juicier and add extra flavor.

Q: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Marinate chicken and prepare tzatziki in advance. Assemble wraps just before serving to avoid sogginess.

Q: What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?
A: Use plain thick yogurt or skyr for a similar creamy texture.
