Crispy Chicken (or Beef) Cheese Wrap
Ingredients (makes 2 wraps)
Wraps & filling
2 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch)
1–1½ cups cooked chicken or beef, shredded or chopped
(leftover roast chicken works great)
1 cup mozzarella or cheddar (or mix)
1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1 small tomato, sliced or diced (optional)
1 cup lettuce (for crunch after toasting)
2–3 tbsp mayonnaise or garlic sauce
1–2 tbsp ketchup or chili sauce (optional)
Seasoning for meat
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika or chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cumin (optional)
1 tbsp oil/butter for toasting
Step-by-step
1) Season & heat the meat
If your meat is already cooked, just warm it in a pan with 1 tsp oil.
Add salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin.
Stir 2–3 minutes until hot and flavorful. Set aside.
2) Assemble the wraps
Lay tortilla flat.
Spread mayo/garlic sauce on one half.
Add cheese first (this helps “glue” it).
Add seasoned meat, onions/tomatoes if using.
Add a little more cheese on top.
Fold tortilla into a half-moon.
3) Toast until golden
Heat a nonstick pan on medium.
Add a little butter or oil.
Place wrap in pan and press lightly.
Toast 2–3 mins per side until deep golden and crispy, cheese melted.
(Flip carefully.)
4) Add lettuce & serve
Open the wrap slightly and tuck in lettuce (keeps it fresh and crunchy).
Slice into halves like the photo.
Serve hot with chili sauce or ketchup.
Tips for the perfect crispy wrap
Medium heat is best: high heat burns before cheese melts.
Cheese on both sides of meat = better melt + holds filling.
Add lettuce after toasting so it stays crisp.
