Instructions

- Step 4: Toss the shredded chicken with half of the tropical mango salsa mixture until well coated.
- Step 5: Warm 4 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds each side until soft and pliable.
- Step 6: Spread a thin layer of the honey-yogurt sauce on each tortilla, then add a generous portion of the mango salsa chicken, folding the sides and rolling tightly to create wraps.
- Step 7: Serve immediately with remaining mango salsa on the side for dipping or garnish.

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
