Notes
- Cheese Swap: Mozzarella is best for gooey melt, but gouda, Monterey Jack, or provolone also work.
- Crispier Option: After pan-toasting, wrap in foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes.
- Make Ahead: Wraps can be assembled ahead, refrigerated, or frozen individually. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
- Lighter Version: Use low-carb tortillas, reduced-fat cheese, or rotisserie chicken breast for a leaner option.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli—and add a side salad for balance.
