Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for toasting
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant to infuse the oil and develop the garlic flavor.
- Cook Chicken and Spices: Add the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2–3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the spices are well distributed.
- Add Cheeses: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese until melted and creamy, creating a rich and cohesive filling. Mix in chopped fresh parsley if using.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly divide the chicken and cheese mixture among them. Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap to secure the filling.
- Toast Wraps: Heat butter or oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and toast each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crisp, ensuring the wraps hold together and develop a crunchy exterior.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve warm for the best melty, flavorful experience.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken to reduce prep time significantly.
- Enhance flavor by adding chopped spinach, jalapeños, or sautéed onions to the chicken mixture.
- These wraps make excellent meal prep options and reheat well in a skillet or air fryer for crispness.
