- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro until well combined.
- Season the mixture: Add salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the mixture.
- Assemble wraps: Evenly divide the chicken mixture among the four flour tortillas, spreading it out in the center of each.
- Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides to enclose the filling and form a secure wrap.
- Heat the pan: Place a pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up before adding the wraps.
