Best Ways to Store
Leftover wraps? Wrap them up tight in foil or a lidded box and pop into the fridge. They'll stay good for up to three days. To bring back the crunch, use a dry skillet or bake at 350 until hot. Skip the microwave or you'll get soggy tortillas.
Swap-Out Ideas
Try store bought rotisserie chicken to save time. Mix Greek yogurt mashed with a clove of garlic and a squeeze of lemon if you’re skipping bottled garlic sauce. Want heat? Sub in pepper jack cheese, or switch the parsley for fresh cilantro for a new spin.
How to Serve This
Serve up your wraps with a handful of mixed greens, a bit of corn salsa, or crunchy carrot sticks. Slice 'em smaller to make great snacks for parties or game days. For even more fun, make a little ranch or garlic dip on the side.

These wraps mix grab-and-go American flavors with some Mediterranean style. The garlicky sauce takes me back to my favorite Middle Eastern restaurants. That stretchy cheese? Pure American comfort dinner at its best. In our house this has become our quick weeknight classic.
FAQs About the Recipe
- → What can I do to keep my wraps nice and crisp?
Go light on the sauce and make sure to griddle the wraps till the outside’s crunchy. If you let your chicken cool off a bit first, it won’t steam up the tortilla.
- → Which cheese melts best inside?
Mixing mozzarella with cheddar gets you great meltiness and flavor, but Monterey Jack or even Colby work just as well if you want to change things up.
- → Is it okay to toss in some veggies?
Absolutely! Fresh spinach, strips of bell pepper, or a handful of sautéed onions give the wraps extra color and crunch.
- → Can I use rotisserie chicken in these?
For sure. Grab a rotisserie chicken, shred it up, and you’ll save time and still get loads of flavor.
- → What should I do with any leftovers?
Pop leftover wraps in the fridge once they’re cool. When you’re ready to eat, toss them in a skillet or oven to get them toasty again.
- → What dips taste good on the side?
Dip these wraps in ranch, garlic sauce, or a spicy chipotle dip—any of them bring out awesome flavors.
