Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly butter it. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Expert Tips and Tricks
- Use Pre-Cooked Chicken – A rotisserie chicken makes this even easier. Just shred and mix!
- Don’t Overfill – Too much filling makes the wraps hard to roll and keep sealed.
- Press Down While Cooking – Use a spatula to gently press the wraps down in the pan for even crispiness.
Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions
- Spicy Kick – Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
- Different Cheeses – Try cheddar, provolone, or even a mix of cheeses.
- Extra Veggies – Throw in spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added texture.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
These wraps go great with:
- Crispy fries or sweet potato wedges
- A side salad for a lighter meal
- A warm bowl of tomato soup for dipping
Storage and Reheating Tips
- Storing Leftovers – Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating – Pop them in a pan or air fryer for a few minutes to get the crispiness back. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep them crispy.
FAQs
1. Can I bake these instead of pan-frying?

Ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara sauce are all delicious choices.
3. Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Definitely! Assemble them and store in the fridge, then cook when ready to eat.
