Southwest Chicken Flatbread Box

This is a build-your-own version of our Spicy Chicken Flatbreads. We’ve rebranded this version as Southwest so we do not turn away any students afraid of heat because the word :spicy refers to the abundance of flavor, not the heat of the dish. Each box comes with the flatbread, salsa for the base, the chicken mix, and cheese. Leave an assembled example of what the flatbreads look like for the students to see for added marketing.
