- Bell peppers 2
- Mini mozzarella cheese 1 bag
- Baby greens (mini bag) 1 bag
Sauce- Honey mustard sauce 10 Tbsp
- Honey mustard sauce 10 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all ingredients from the refrigerator: tortillas, mini mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, baby greens, and leftover chicken. Wash the bell peppers and baby greens thoroughly under cold water and set aside to drain.
Step 2
Place the leftover chicken in a dry frying pan over low heat. Gently warm it just enough to remove the chill; avoid overcooking, as this can make the chicken dry. It should only be warm to the touch.
Step 3
For the bell peppers, remove the stem and seeds. Slice them thinly into strips, like julienne. Using different colored bell peppers will make your wrap more visually appealing.
Step 4
Warm the tortillas in a dry frying pan, flipping them once. Just heat them through until they are pliable; overcooking can make them brittle. With this, all your prep is complete!
Step 5
Generously spread the honey mustard sauce evenly over the warmed tortilla. Don’t be shy with the sauce; it adds a great flavor base.
Step 6
Arrange the warmed chicken pieces on top of the sauce. You can shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Step 7
Next, layer the thinly sliced bell peppers and the fresh baby greens on top of the chicken. This adds a delightful crunch and freshness.
Step 8
Sprinkle the mini mozzarella cheese generously over the greens. The melted cheese will help bind the ingredients together. Fold the tortilla in half, then fold in the sides to create a neat package.
Step 9
To secure the wrap, tightly wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Microwave for about 15-20 seconds, just until the cheese is melted and gooey. Your delicious chicken snack wrap is ready!
Step 10
Pack the finished chicken snack wraps into lunch boxes or picnic containers for a super easy meal preparation! (I packed mine for work today!)
