- Why does it open while cooking?
- You overfilled it or didn't 'glue' the end with cheese. Always start grilling seam-side down.
- Can I use whole wheat tortillas?
- Yes, but they are more brittle, so warm them thoroughly before filling.
Grilled Chicken Wraps
A wrap is basically a modern portable sandwich, but grilling it elevates it to restaurant quality. The heat makes the tortilla crispy while melting the cheese inside to glue the filling together, creating a stable, warm, and tasty cylinder dominated by texture.

Instructions
1
✓
Cut chicken and veggies (onion, pepper) into thin strips. Shred the lettuce.
Tip: If you freeze chicken for 20 minutes before cutting, it's much easier to slice thinly.
2
✓
Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion, then chicken after 1 minute. Sauté on high heat until meat whitens and browns.
Tip: High heat is important to sear rather than stew the meat.
3
✓
Add pepper, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook another 3-4 minutes until peppers are crisp-tender.
Tip: Add spices now so they don't burn in hot oil at the start.
4
✓
Warm tortillas in microwave or dry pan to soften.
Tip: Cold tortillas crack; warm ones roll.
5
✓
Filling: Spread sour cream on tortilla, add lettuce, then hot chicken mixture. Top with cheese.
Tip: Put cheese on hot meat so it starts melting from the inside.
6
✓
Fold in ends, roll tightly. Place seam-side down in grill pan.
Tip: Heat seals the seam so it doesn't open.
7
✓
Cook 2-3 minutes per side until crispy with brown lines.
Tip: Use a weight (or another pan) to press down for even browning.
