FAQs
- Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the chicken filling in advance, but assemble and cook the wraps just before serving for best results.
- Can I freeze these wraps? While possible, freezing isn’t recommended as the tortillas may become soggy when thawed.
- What’s the best way to prevent the wraps from unfolding? Place them seam-side down first when cooking, and the melted cheese will help seal them shut.
- Can I use corn tortillas instead? While possible, flour tortillas are recommended as they’re more pliable and hold together better.
