# Directions:

01 - Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot.
02 - Place sandwich bread slices in a shallow dish and pour 1/2 cup hot gravy over them, fully soaking but not disintegrating. Set aside.
03 - Microwave tortillas for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable.
04 - Lay each tortilla flat, layer 1/4 cup stuffing, 1/2 cup shredded chicken, a soaked bread slice tear in half if necessary, 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce, 1/4 cup greens, and cheese slice if using. Season with salt and pepper.
05 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely.
06 - Place wraps seam side down on the skillet. Toast each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and warmed through, pressing lightly with a spatula.
07 - Serve immediately with remaining hot gravy on the side for dipping.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The gravy-soaked bread creates pockets of soft, savory moisture that keeps every bite interesting.
  • It's assembled quickly enough for a weeknight dinner but tastes impressive enough to serve to guests.
  • Toasting the wrap seals everything in and gives you that satisfying golden crust that makes the first bite unmissable.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on soaking the bread in gravy; this is the element that distinguishes a Moist Maker from a regular sandwich, and it's where all the magic happens.
  • The tortilla needs to be warm before you fill it, otherwise you'll spend the entire rolling process fighting with a stiff, reluctant wrapper.
03 -
  • Toast your tortillas briefly in the microwave before filling to make them pliable and less likely to tear when you roll.
  • Don't be timid with the gravy on the bread; you want it thoroughly soaked so every bite has that moisture and richness.
