Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
• 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: If the chicken is not cooked, season it lightly with salt and pepper and bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked. Dice into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add the diced chicken to the pan and toss it in the garlic oil, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
4. Step 4: Remove the pan from heat and stir in both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken is still hot, allowing the cheese to begin melting.
5. Step 5: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
6. Step 6: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and press gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully.
7. Step 7: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use cooked rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
• Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
• Switch up the cheese by trying pepper jack or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
• Include sautéed veggies like bell peppers or onions for extra texture and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low-medium heat to maintain the crispy exterior, or microwave briefly and then crisp in a pan. Avoid overheating to keep the cheese gooey and delicious.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Absolutely! Whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas work well and add variety to the wraps.

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the wraps ahead and refrigerate them unheated for a few hours. Cook them just before serving to ensure they stay crispy and the cheese melts perfectly.

Chicken and Cheese Mixture

• 2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Wraps

• 4 medium flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the chicken: If your chicken is not cooked yet, season it lightly with salt and black pepper. You can bake, sauté, or grill the chicken until fully cooked. Then, dice it into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Sauté garlic: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pan. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until it becomes golden and fragrant but not burnt.
3. Combine chicken and garlic oil: Add the diced chicken to the pan with the garlic oil. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Melt the cheese: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in both the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken is still hot. This helps the cheese start melting.
5. Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito to seal.
6. Cook the wraps: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and gently press. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid filling spillage.
7. Rest and serve: Once cooked, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top if desired, then serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

• You can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save cooking time.

• For a healthier option, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
