Ingredients
Tortillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
Fillings (choose your favorites)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced onions
- 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- Optional: sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the fillings: Gather your choice of fillings such as shredded chicken, cheese, bell peppers, onions, black beans, and salsa. Mix or layer them as preferred to create a flavorful combination inside your wrap.
- Fold the tortillas: Place about half a cup of your selected fillings on one half of each tortilla, then fold the tortilla over the fillings to create a semi-circle or fold into quarters for a smaller wrap. Make sure the fillings are evenly distributed and the edges are sealed slightly by pressing gently.
- Cook the wraps: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place each folded tortilla in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the fillings are warmed through. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning the tortilla.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan and let them cool for a minute before serving. Serve with optional sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize the fillings based on dietary preferences or what you have on hand.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, omit meat and increase vegetable and bean portions.
- For extra crispiness, lightly brush the tortillas with oil or butter before cooking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
