# How To Make:

05 - Distribute the chicken filling evenly among the tortillas. Layer with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and red onion.
06 - Spoon the prepared sauce over the fillings in each tortilla.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to secure the filling.
08 - If desired, place the wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet or panini press for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly crisped and the cheese is melted.
09 - Slice each wrap in half and serve while warm.
