How to Make a Cheesy Chicken Wrap
Step 1: Prep Ingredients
- Shred or slice the cooked chicken. Dice the tomato, slice onion and jalapeños, and shred lettuce if not already done.

- Add ½ cup of chicken, ½ cup cheese, a handful of lettuce, tomato, onion, and jalapeños over the sauce.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the second wrap.
Step 3: Toast the Wraps
- Heat a nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter over medium heat.
- Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy and the cheese is melty.
- Slice in half and serve while warm.
