Serving and Storage Tips

Serving Tips:

• Serve the wraps immediately after pan-toasting for the best cheesy, crispy texture.
• Pair them with fresh sides like a green salad, coleslaw, or roasted veggies for a balanced meal.
• Offer dipping sauces such as ranch, garlic aioli, marinara, or spicy mayo for added flavor.
• Cut them in halves or thirds for party appetizers or lunchbox-friendly portions.
• For extra crunch, serve alongside chips, sweet potato fries, or pickles.

Storage Tips:

• Refrigeration: Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Wrap uncooked (or cooked and cooled) wraps tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the wraps soggy.
• Meal Prep: Assemble the wraps and refrigerate uncooked up to 24 hours in advance. Cook fresh when ready to serve.
• Avoid Overstuffing: If prepping ahead, don’t overfill the wraps—this keeps them from bursting or getting soggy during storage.

Variations

1. Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Add 2–3 tablespoons of buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture and substitute ranch or blue cheese dressing for the mayo. This spicy twist gives the wraps a bold kick and pairs well with a side of celery sticks.

2. Bacon Ranch Chicken Wraps

3. Southwest Chicken Wraps

4. Spinach and Artichoke Style
Add 1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or thawed from frozen) and 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts. Blend into the cheese mixture for a creamy, veggie-packed wrap reminiscent of a classic dip.

5. BBQ Chicken Wraps
Replace the mayo with 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce and add thinly sliced red onions. The sweet and smoky flavor profile works great with cheddar cheese and a touch of cilantro.
