There's so much to love about these wraps. They're ready in just 30 minutes perfect for using up leftover chicken and so easy to customize. I love how they work for both quick lunches and those nights when you want something cozy but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen.

Let's Gather Our Ingredients

Blend those creamy cheeses together they make such a wonderful base.
Bring it together:

My Best Tips

I love using rotisserie chicken for these it's such a time saver. Sometimes I'll add some colorful peppers or fresh spinach. And don't be afraid to experiment with different cheese combinations each one brings its own special flavor.

Keep Them Fresh

These wraps keep beautifully in the fridge for a few days. When you're ready to enjoy them again warm them in a skillet or the oven to keep that crispy outside. Skip the microwave though nobody likes a soggy wrap.
