MaiTai I love it when I can repurpose leftover proteins for another meal. Well, this is exactly what I did with the chicken fajita from dinner.
I found some Tumeric Coconut Wrap in my pantry and it was exactly what I needed to make a chicken wrap. I just had to microwave the chicken, spread it on the wrap and added some cheese and veggies on top. It was so good and different enough from dinner that it was exciting.
I got the coconut wrap from Thrive Market, but I’ve seen them at Walmart and other online retailer. This particular wrap is tumeric flavor and it’s my favorite. I love the yellow color. It’s a combination of sweetness from the coconut and the intoxicating fragrance of the tumeric. The wrap is soft and pliable like a regular tortilla or any other conventional wraps.
So if you’re looking for a way to repurpose your leftovers, why not try to wrap it up?๐ฏ
