Recipe description
These yummy Mexican Chicken Wraps were created in collaboration with the Queensland Country Women’s Association’s (QCWA) Country Kitchens program. They pack a punch with flavour and are bursting with colour.
Variations
Include carrot, mushrooms and red cabbage (instead of capsicum and zucchini), depending on what’s in season.
Half a wrap would suffice as a serve for primary school students, while high school students could enjoy the full wrap.
