Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker meal.
Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack for extra spice.

Add avocado, jalapeños, or hot sauce for additional southwestern flavor.
Store the filling separately from tortillas to keep the wraps fresh and crunchy.
Refrigerate the filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
