Yes! Use crispy tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken.

Are You Supposed to Heat Up a Chicken Wrap?

🔥 Depends on the type:

• Cold wraps (like Caesar salad wraps) → Serve chilled.
• Grilled/warm wraps (e.g., buffalo chicken) → Reheat in a skillet/oven to restore crispness.
• Pre-cooked chicken? Can be eaten cold if stored safely.
