How to Make Chicken Wraps: A Complete Guide

Chicken wraps are a versatile, delicious meal perfect for lunch, dinner, or a quick snack. Packed with protein and fresh flavors, they’re easy to customize. Here’s a simple guide to making them.

Ingredients:

- 2 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced

- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

- 1 cup mixed veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers)

- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

- Optional: Hot sauce, avocado, or grilled onions.

Steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season cooked chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices (e.g., paprika or garlic powder). For extra flavor, pan-sear it with a little oil until golden.

2. Warm the Tortillas: Soften tortillas in a microwave (10-15 seconds) or a dry skillet to prevent tearing.

3. Add Spreads: Spread mayonnaise or yogurt evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border.

4. Layer Ingredients: Start with chicken, then add veggies, cheese, and any extras. Avoid overfilling to ensure easy rolling.

5. Roll Tightly: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

6. Serve: Slice in half diagonally and enjoy immediately, or wrap in foil for later.

Variations: Try buffalo chicken wraps (toss chicken in hot sauce and ranch) or Mediterranean-style (add hummus, olives, and feta). These wraps are a healthy, satisfying way to use up leftovers—get creative and enjoy!
