The AI Showdown: Copilot vs ChatGPT; Which AI Makes the Better Wrap?
Hello Flavor Chasers,
Welcome to Hot Mess in the Kitchen, where chaos meets flavor! Today, we’re diving into a fun (and delicious) experiment…an AI showdown! That’s right, we handed the same list of ingredients to two digital sous-chefs, ChatGPT and CoPilot, and asked them to whip up a dish. The results? Surprisingly tasty, a little chaotic, and definitely worth sharing.
Spoiler: things got a little messy, but also delicious. Let’s go!!!
Why Chicken Wraps, You ask?
Well, plot twist, we didn’t actually ask either AI to make chicken wraps. But somehow, both of them landed on their own spin of a wrap (great foodie minds think alike, I guess?). Each recipe came out unique, with its own flavor personality, so we figured: why not test them head-to-head?
So grab a seat at the table, because we’re about to taste, compare, and crown the ultimate AI chicken wrap champion.
Ingredients List: What You’ll Need (and Probably Spill)
This is the list of ingredients that we had and wanted to use:
Sundried Tomatoes
Almond Flour Tortillas
Pesto Sauce
Roasted Garlic
Roasted Onion
Capers
Chili Oil
Lemon Oil
CoPilot’s Creation:
Vibe: Classic, clean, and slightly Mediterranean.
Name: "Sundried Bliss Chicken Wrap with Chili Oil and Citrus Zing”
Ingredients (Serves 2-4):
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1/3 cup pesto sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice (added to pesto)
- 1 tbsp chili oil (plus extra for drizzling!)
- 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup roasted onions, chopped
- 2 cloves roasted garlic, smashed
- 2 almond flour tortilla shells
- 1 tbsp capers, drained
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
ChatGPT’s Creation:
Vibe: A spicy, tangy, savory wrap layered with bold Mediterranean flavors.
Name: "Pesto Chicken Wraps with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Chili Lemon Drizzle”
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 almond flour tortillas
3 tbsp pesto sauce
2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
2 tsp capers
2 tbsp roasted garlic
¼ cup roasted red onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp chili oil
1 tsp lemon oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional: arugula or baby spinach for extra greens
💥 Hot Mess Note: Apparently, both AIs were vibing in the Mediterranean this week. CoPilot leaned fresh and citrusy, evoking thoughts of sunshine, pesto, and a squeeze of orange. ChatGPT went bold and tangy, layering in lemon oil, capers, and a green boost. Same destination, totally different layovers.
So… which one’s about to win this wrap battle? Time to roll up our sleeves (and our tortillas).
Wrap Battle Instructions
CoPilot’s Wrap Assembly Instructions:
Flavor the filling:
Mix shredded chicken with pesto, chili oil, roasted garlic, roasted onions, lemon zest, and half the capers. Season to taste and let rest 10 minutes to let those citrus-spice notes soak in.
Warm the tortillas:
Toast tortillas in a hot skillet for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and golden.
Build the wraps:
Spread the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Add sundried tomatoes and the remaining capers.
Seal & sizzle:
Fold wraps, then sear seam-side down in the skillet with a few drops of chili oil for crisp edges and extra heat.
Hot Mess Modification: We skipped the OJ and swapped in lemon oil instead of zest (Google-approved, thank you very much). Since CoPilot never specified the chicken prep, we roasted the breasts with a simple salt + pepper seasoning for juicier flavor.
Flavor Fun Fact:
Chili oil does more than bring heat; it actually unlocks deeper flavor compounds in garlic and citrus. In many Asian cuisines, it’s used as a “balance booster,” turning up the volume on sweet, sour, and umami flavors.
ChatGPT Wrap Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Cook the chicken
Season with salt & pepper. Heat chili oil in a skillet and cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side until golden and done. Rest, then slice thinly.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
Toss sliced chicken with pesto, sundried tomatoes, capers, roasted garlic, and roasted onions until evenly coated.
Step 3: Warm the tortillas
Lightly toast in a skillet (or microwave if you’re in a rush) until pliable.
Step 4: Assemble the wraps
Spread extra pesto on tortillas, add chicken mixture, and optional greens. Drizzle each with a chili oil + lemon oil mix (½ tsp each per wrap). Fold into wraps.
Step 5: Serve
Slice in half and plate with something fresh—like a lemony arugula salad or roasted potatoes.
Flavor Notes:
Capers + lemon oil = bright, zesty finish
Chili oil = subtle spicy kick
Sundried tomatoes + roasted garlic = rich depth
Almond tortillas = gluten-free, light, and nutty
Hot Mess Moment:
Our wrap-folding skills? Questionable at best. Let’s just say… some of these were more like “Mediterranean tacos.” 🌯💥
What to Sip, Snack, or Netflix With
Additionally, we asked for beverage pairing recommendations. Here’s a quick rundown;
Blood Orange Margarita
Sparkling Lemon-Basil Water
Ginger-Lime Spritzer
We opted for the Sparkling Lemon-Basil Water based on both assistants' recommendations. Recipe as follows;

Ingredients:
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves

1. Gently bruise basil leaves to release their oils.
2. In a pitcher, combine lemon slices and basil.
3. Add sparkling water and stir gently.
4. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to infuse.

Bite Off the Battle
CoPilot’s Wrap
✔️ Wins: Fresh, clean Mediterranean vibe; bright citrus notes from lemon zest; balanced layers of roasted garlic, sundried tomatoes, and capers
✖️ Oops: Slightly mild on heat, chili oil could’ve packed a bigger punch
Hot Mess Take: CoPilot’s wrap stayed light, flavorful, and well-balanced, the kind of wrap you want to eat all week. The citrusy lemon notes and roasted garlic made every bite pop. Bonus: sparkling water was the perfect companion.
ChatGPT’s Wrap
✔️ Wins: Bold, tangy flavors with lemon oil and capers; optional greens added freshness; deep Mediterranean notes from roasted garlic & sundried tomatoes
✖️ Oops: Red onions could sometimes overpower other flavors if not balanced
Hot Mess Take: ChatGPT went all-in on bold, tangy layers. The mix of lemon oil, capers, and roasted garlic gave serious personality. Optional greens added freshness, but some bites got a little dominated by the red onions. Messy? Yes. Memorable? Absolutely.
🥇Our Verdict: AI Wrap Battle Royale
In the great chicken wrap showdown between CoPilot and ChatGPT, we tasted, we tested, we got a little chili-oil-drunk…and we’ve come to the final conclusion:
They both deserve the crown.
CoPilot’s “Sundried Bliss Chicken Wrap” brought citrusy elegance and Mediterranean calm, while ChatGPT’s “Pesto Chicken Wrap with Chili Lemon Drizzle” served up bold spice and savory swagger.

Each wrap had its charms, and both are winners in our Hot Mess kitchen… just in very different ways. 😅
💧 Bonus points for the beverage pairing: that sparkling water? A crisp, bubbly palate cleanser that made every bite pop.

Absolutely. This was such a fun taste test, equal parts flavor, curiosity, and chili oil-induced joy. Both wraps were solid, satisfying, and totally worthy of a repeat performance. Whether you’re craving citrusy calm or spicy chaos, these AI creations delivered. We’d make them again for lunch, dinner, or a late-night snack attack.
Bonus: they’re easy to riff on. Add greens, swap the protein, drizzle extra oil… you do you.
