Instructions

- Divide the warm chicken and bean mixture equally among the four tortillas, placing it directly on top of the cheese.
- Add optional toppings like chopped lettuce or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a sealed wrap.
- Optional: Place wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet and lightly toast for 2-3 minutes to create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Slice wraps diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
