Notes
Use alcohol free tortillas and cheddar slices from brands such as Tillamook or Cabot for clean flavor.
Warm tortillas before assembling to make them more flexible and prevent tearing.
If you do not have a grill available cook the chicken in a stovetop grill pan at medium heat.
Store ingredients separately if preparing ahead to keep the vegetables crisp and the wraps from softening.
