Tender roast chicken, stuffing, cranberry, and gravy wrapped in a toasted tortilla for a savory meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 2 cups cooked roast chicken, shredded

→ Bread & Wraps

02 - 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
03 - 2 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread

→ Vegetables & Greens

04 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

→ Stuffing

05 - 1 cup prepared stuffing (homemade or store-bought)

07 - 3/4 cup hot chicken or turkey gravy

→ Dairy (optional)

08 - 4 slices provolone or Swiss cheese

→ Seasonings

09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot.
02 - Place sandwich bread slices in a shallow dish and pour 1/2 cup hot gravy over them, ensuring they are soaked without falling apart. Set aside.
03 - Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to soften and increase pliability.
04 - Lay each tortilla flat and layer in the center: 1/4 cup stuffing, 1/2 cup shredded chicken, one soaked bread slice (tear in half if needed), 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce, 1/4 cup greens, and a slice of cheese if using. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
05 - Fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the fillings securely.
06 - Place wraps seam-side down on the preheated skillet. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and heated through, pressing gently with a spatula to form an even crust.
07 - Serve immediately with remaining hot gravy for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • All the soul of a holiday dinner plate, but you can eat it in the car or on the couch without shame.
  • The gravy soaked bread is the secret weapon, it keeps everything moist and adds a layer of flavor you did not know you needed.
  • Toasting the wrap makes it sturdy enough to survive real life, no fork required.
  • Uses up leftovers like a champ, or works just as well with a rotisserie chicken from the store.
02 -
  • If your tortilla tears while rolling, it was either too cold or you overstuffed it, warm it again and use a little less filling next time.
  • The gravy soaked bread can fall apart if you use too much liquid, aim for soaked through but still intact enough to tear and place.
  • Toasting seam side down first is critical, it seals the wrap so it does not unravel when you flip it.
03 -
  • Press the wrap firmly with your spatula while toasting, it helps everything meld together and creates those crispy golden spots everyone fights over.
  • Make the gravy bread right before assembling, if it sits too long it turns to mush and becomes impossible to handle without frustration.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the finished wrap in half on an angle, it looks better and makes it easier to eat without everything sliding out the back end.
