- Lay out the flour tortillas and divide the chicken and rice mixture evenly among them, spreading it out in the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and rice mixture on each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortillas in and then roll them up tightly to form a wrap.
