Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas or flatbreads

How to Make Chicken and Cheese Wrap
- Start by preparing your ingredients. If you haven’t already, grill your chicken until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side, and slice it into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with salt and pepper to taste. This will add a creamy layer to your wrap.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, lightly toast the tortillas for about 1 minute on each side until they are warm and flexible.
- Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each tortilla, covering the surface evenly.
- Layer the sliced grilled chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes on top of the cream cheese.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla to enclose the filling. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to keep everything secure.
- Once rolled, slice the wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for lunch later!
Tips for the Best Results
- Use leftover grilled chicken to save time.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
- For extra crunch, consider adding sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
Easy Variations
- Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Use spinach or whole wheat wraps for a healthier option.
- Try adding avocado slices for creaminess and flavor.
- Replace chicken with turkey or even a vegetarian protein like hummus or falafel.
What to Serve With It
- A side of fresh fruit for a sweet contrast.
- Crispy potato chips or baked fries for a satisfying crunch.
- A light salad with vinaigrette to complement the wrap.
- Yogurt or ranch dressing for dipping.
