How to make Chicken Wrap
For the dough
- Step 1
Combine all the dough ingredients in a bowl and knead until you obtain a soft and smooth ball of dough.
- Step 2
Divide the dough into 4 portions, cover them with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Roll out each portion of dough into a rectangle about 2 mm thick.
- Step 4
Place the dough rectangles on a baking sheet lightly dusted with flour and bake for about 3 minutes, being careful not to let them brown too much so they remain flexible.
- Step 5
Remove the rectangles from the oven and cover them with a kitchen towel to retain their moisture.
For the filling
- Step 1
Sauté the vegetables (onion, corn, pumpkin, garlic, and red bell pepper) in a little olive oil until tender. Remove from heat and season with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
- Step 2
Shred the cooked chicken and grate the mozzarella cheese.
To assemble the wraps
- Step 1
Spread the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and grated mozzarella evenly over each dough rectangle.
- Step 2
Roll up the wraps and place them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and everything is well combined.
