Notes

  • Make it a casserole-style dish: Not in the mood to roll the wraps? Just layer everything like lasagna! Spread sauce, torn wraps, chicken, onions, cheese, then repeat. Super cozy, super easy.
  • Protein boost: Want even more protein? Add chopped boiled eggs inside the wraps or serve with a hard-boiled egg on the side.
  • Cheese swaps: Mozzarella works great if you’re out of cheddar. You can even mix in a little cream cheese for a creamy texture.
  • Spice it up: Add chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne if you like your enchiladas with a little kick!
