Storage
Store any leftover assembled wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, unwrap and warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Tortillas may become slightly softer after reheating.

FAQs
Can I use fresh chicken instead of frozen tenders?
