Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken instead of plain cooked chicken. You can also substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier option. If you prefer a bit more texture, add some chopped bell peppers or onions to the rice and chicken mixture. This recipe is a great way to use leftovers, similar to the Broccoli And Cheese Dish.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps make for a delicious lunch or dinner option and can be served with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. Consider pairing them with a dipping sauce such as ranch or a light vinaigrette for extra flavor. They also make a great addition to lunchboxes or picnics, similar to dishes found in American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, unwrap the tortilla and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can place the wrap in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, ensuring the wrap gets crispy.
