Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
1/2 cup garlic aioli
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
4 large tortillas
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with garlic aioli. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste and stir well to coat evenly.
Step 2: Lay out each tortilla and evenly distribute the chicken mixture on it. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken on each tortilla.
Step 3: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly to form a wrap.
Step 4: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 5: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to the chicken mixture before assembling.
Try swapping cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a different taste.
You can add sliced avocado or tomatoes inside the wrap for added freshness.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through, ensuring the cheese melts again for best texture.

How to Serve

Two grilled chicken wraps are layered on a white plate with a white marbled texture surface. The bottom wrap is cut open showing thick, grilled chicken pieces with a golden-brown crust. On top of the chicken, there is a creamy beige sauce with black pepper specks and melted shredded cheddar cheese in a bright orange color. The sauce drips over the wrap edges. The upper wrap is folded, showing a similar chicken piece with sauce and cheese inside, garnished with small green herb leaves. The white tortillas have visible grill marks in a dark brown color.

FAQs

Can I use fresh cooked chicken instead of shredded chicken?

Yes, you can shred fresh cooked chicken easily by hand or with forks. Just ensure it is fully cooked and cooled before mixing with the aioli.

Is there a substitute for garlic aioli?

If garlic aioli is unavailable, you can use mayonnaise mixed with minced garlic or garlic powder for a similar creamy, garlicky flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup garlic aioli
Salt and pepper to taste

Wrap Assembly

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
4 large tortillas

Instructions

Mix Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the garlic aioli. Season well with salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated and flavorful.
Assemble Wraps: Lay out each large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture across the center of each tortilla and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Wrap: Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a compact wrap, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
Grill: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side, and the cheddar cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them in half if desired, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier or allergy-friendly option.
Make sure not to overfill the wraps to avoid tearing during grilling.
Serve with a side salad or fresh veggies for a complete meal.
Leftover wraps can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
