Best ways to enjoy it
These wraps can be the star of your meal or a delightful side dish. Serve them with a fresh side salad, some crispy tortilla chips, or a tangy salsa for dipping. You can also try pairing them with guacamole or a dollop of sour cream to enhance the flavors further. If you’re feeling adventurous, whip up a quick side of sautéed veggies or a hearty soup for a complete meal.
How to store
If you find yourself with leftovers (though that might be unlikely!), here’s how to keep them fresh. Store any uneaten wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, you can freeze the wraps before grilling; just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil or place them in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to eat, grill them straight from the freezer to cooking; just add a few extra minutes to ensure they’re heated through.
Helpful cooking tips
To achieve that golden, crispy exterior, make sure your skillet is adequately heated before adding the wraps for grilling. You can also experiment with different spices in your garlic sauce or add a splash of lemon juice for a zesty kick. If you want to speed up the cooking process, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken—just mix it with the sauce and cheese, and you’ll save even more time!
Creative twists
Want to switch things up? Consider trying different proteins like shrimp or beef in place of chicken. You could also transform these wraps into a vegetarian delight by using beans or roasted veggies as the primary filling. If you’re looking to spice things up, add some jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce. Swap out the creamy garlic sauce for a zesty ranch or buffalo sauce for diversity in flavor.
