Ingredients

Protein

  • Chicken breasts (tender and lean, cooked and sliced)

Wraps

  • Flour tortillas or wraps (soft and flexible for rolling)

Cheese

  • Cheese (melting varieties like mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)

Fresh Vegetables

  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Lettuce or spinach

Condiments and Sauces

  • Mayonnaise, mustard, or pesto (for moisture and flavor)

Optional Variations

  • Black beans and corn with chipotle sauce (Southwest Style)
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, balsamic glaze (Italian Inspired)
  • Feta cheese, cucumber slices, tzatziki sauce (Greek Flavor)
  • Lettuce leaves or collard greens as wraps (Low-Carb Option)
  • Jalapeños and pepper jack cheese (Spicy Kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cooking the chicken breasts until they’re juicy and fully cooked by grilling, baking, or pan-searing. Once cooked, let the chicken rest before slicing it thinly to make rolling easier.
  2. Lay Out the Wrap: Place your tortilla or chosen wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread your preferred sauce evenly over the surface, leaving the edges clear to make rolling simpler.
  3. Add the Fillings: Layer the sliced chicken, cheese, and fresh vegetables in a single strip down the center of the wrap to ensure an even bite every time.
  4. Roll it Up Tightly: Fold the sides in gently and roll the wrap from one end to the other, applying gentle pressure to keep the fillings secure without tearing the wrap.
  5. Slice and Serve: Cut each roll into 2 to 3 bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for a convenient grab-and-go meal.

Notes

  • Use warm wraps: Softened tortillas roll more easily without cracking.
  • Don’t overstuff the roll-ups to maintain neat and manageable portions.
  • Spread sauces thinly to prevent sogginess and keep the wrap crisp.
  • Chilling the roll-ups for 15 minutes before slicing helps them keep their shape.
  • Use toothpicks to secure roll-ups during preparation and serving for clean handling.
