I just love how the garlic sauce turns everything super tasty. These wraps are our little comfort thing—my daughter always wants to help make extra sauce now! We dig into them while hanging out in our kitchen after a long day.
Storage Made Simple
Any leftover wraps? Just wrap 'em up tightly with foil or plastic and stash in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a dry skillet to bring the crunch back to that tortilla and get the cheese bubbly again—skipping the microwave helps keep everything just right.
Swap Ideas
You can switch in cooked turkey or even rotisserie chicken instead of chicken breast. No dairy? Vegan cheese and a homemade garlic cashew sauce are awesome here. Grab gluten-free tortillas if you need them.
How to Serve
These go awesome with a quick salad or a bowl of cozy tomato soup. Slice the wraps into rounds for party munchies or dip in salsa for a little extra punch.
