# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
02 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
03 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
04 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 -
Salt, to taste
07 -
Black pepper, to taste
→ Wrap
08 -
4 medium flour tortillas
→ Finish and Garnish
09 -
1 tablespoon butter
10 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
If using raw chicken, season lightly with salt and black pepper. Cook by baking, sautéing, or grilling until fully done. Dice into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant. Add diced chicken and toss to evenly coat in garlic oil.
03 -
Remove pan from heat and immediately stir in mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Mix thoroughly so the residual heat begins to melt the cheese.
04 -
Lay one tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
05 -
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and press gently. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, turning carefully.
06 -
Transfer cooked wraps to a board. Let rest 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap in rotisserie chicken for speed, or add vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or sautéed onions for extra nutrition.
02 -
Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free variation; opt for whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for specific dietary preferences.
03 -
For added garlic flavor, brush tortillas with garlic butter before toasting.
04 -
Serve with green salad, potato wedges, or tomato soup for a balanced meal.
05 -
For crispy reheating, use a skillet or toaster oven instead of a microwave.
