Ingredients (Makes 4 rolls):
- The Foundation: 4 medium flour tortillas.
- The Protein Core: 2 chicken breasts (cooked and sliced).

Meal Prep Instructions: 5 Steps to Perfection
1. Master the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add your pre-cooked sliced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes until perfectly heated through and aromatic.
2. Assemble with Intention
Place your tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the seasoned chicken and shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the center of each tortilla. This ensures that every prepped roll is perfectly balanced.
3. The Perfect Roll
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly, burrito-style. This prevents leaks, making them perfect for lunch boxes or gym bags.
4. Toast for Texture
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and cook your rolls for 2–3 minutes per side. This step is the secret to getting a golden brown, crispy exterior and a perfectly melted cheese center without the need for deep frying.
5. Proper Storage for Freshness
Let your chicken rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before packing. Pro-tip: Store them in airtight containers. When ready to eat, reheat in an oven or air fryer for 3–5 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
