Leftovers are fabulous cold in a wrap!

I used Cool Ranch Doritos.

Can be made ahead and frozen! After cooking, cool completely. Please chicken in a large ziploc freezer bag. Seal and freeze up to 1 month. Preheat oven to 425*. Remove desired amount of chicken from plastic bag, and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425* for 20 minutes or until hot and crispy.
