How to Store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
If you have leftovers, you can store the wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven.
Tips to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
- Make sure your chicken is cooked and can be shredded easily. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Use a non-stick skillet or add more olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables, like bell peppers or onions, for extra flavor and crunch.
Variation
You can change the cheese to cheddar or pepper jack for a different taste. Adding spices like paprika or cayenne pepper can give it a nice kick, too. If you prefer a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps.
