Notes Link to heading

For hot summer days, this is best cooked outside over real charcoal embers. But for those of us living the apartment life, a hot oven grill function does the job beautifully.

The sourdough starter gives the tortillas great elasticity, so they roll nicely without breaking or cracking.

Chicken thighs are ideal here because they stay juicy and bring more flavor than chicken breast. And do not throw away the pan juices, they are the hidden bonus sauce that pulls the whole wrap together.

Fermented goat’s milk works beautifully instead of sour cream if you can find it.
