STEP ONE: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and mustard until well blended.
STEP TWO: Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
STEP THREE: Add one tortilla and warm it on each side for about 20 seconds until the tortilla is pliable.
STEP FOUR: Place the tortilla on a flat surface. Add a heaping tablespoon of the mayo-mustard and spread.
STEP FIVE: Sprinkle on ¼ cup of cheese, half of a sliced chicken breast, some bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce, leaving roughly 2 inches at the top unfilled for easier rolling.
STEP SIX: Repeat until you’ve filled four tortillas.
STEP SEVEN: One at a time, fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, followed by the other side, and spray the seam with cooking oil spray.
STEP EIGHT: Place the wraps seam-side down on the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, pressing lightly with a spatula to flatten while cooking.
STEP NINE: Spray the top with nonstick cooking spray or brush lightly with oil and flip. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden and the filling is hot and melty.
STEP TEN: Cut the wraps in half and serve warm

Can You Make a Single Serving Wrap?
Only want one wrap instead of four? No problem!
Just scale back on the ingredients and then assemble your single-serving wrap.
This is going to be easiest if you’re working with leftover chicken.
If you need to cook a chicken breast, you can always slice up half for your wrap and then save the other half for a future meal.
As for the tomato, you can either substitute smaller cherry tomatoes or just plan to use the rest of the tomato in another recipe like this Mango Habanero Salsa.
