Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  2. Step 2: Add the cooked, diced chicken to the skillet and stir well to combine with garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in both shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until slightly melted and well mixed with the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a separate dry pan or microwave to make them pliable.
  5. Step 5: Butter one side of each tortilla. Place the buttered side down in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the tortillas, then fold to form wraps. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden and cheese is fully melted.
  7. Step 7: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley if using, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
  • Swap the chicken for cooked shrimp or turkey for a different protein option.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
  • Add fresh vegetables like spinach or sliced bell peppers inside the wrap for added crunch and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until heated through, to keep the tortilla crispy and cheese melty.

How to Serve

Three grilled wraps are stacked on a wooden board set against a white marbled texture. Each wrap is cut in half to show the inside layers: tender pieces of grilled chicken with light brown sear marks, melted creamy cheese with strings stretching slightly, and scattered green herbs mixed throughout. The outside wraps have a golden brown, slightly crispy texture with darker char spots, giving a warm and inviting look. Small bits of chopped herbs are sprinkled around the base of the stack.

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wraps

  • 4 medium flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken:** Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and infuse the chicken with garlic flavor.

  3. Cook the wraps:** Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over the filling to create wraps. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap butter-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve:** Remove the wraps from the skillet and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using. Serve warm immediately for best taste and texture.
