Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the chicken mixture before cooking.
Swap the cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
To make it vegetarian, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps tightly wrapped in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven to keep the wraps crispy and the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Three folded burritos are stacked on a wooden board, each showing a cross-section filled with three main layers: warm, slightly browned tortilla on the outside with golden grill marks, a thick layer of melted orange-yellow cheese inside, and chunks of grilled white chicken mixed with green chopped herbs nestled within the cheese. The top burrito has some finely chopped herbs sprinkled on it, adding bright green color to the warm tones. The wood board sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wraps and Garnish

Notes

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before shredding.
For extra flavor, you may add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing garlic.
Use corn tortillas instead of flour for a gluten-free option (note: cooking times may vary).
Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a different taste profile.
Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet to maintain crispness.
