Scale
For the Chicken Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Chicken Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in shredded chicken, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through and coated with the seasonings. Set aside.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the center of the tortilla.
- Add a generous scoop of the garlic chicken mixture on top.
- Sprinkle with a little more cheese and optional parsley if desired.
- Fold and Toast the Wraps:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the outside of each wrap.
- Cook the Wraps:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara.
Notes
- Use whole-wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- Add veggies like spinach or sautéed bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Leftover wraps can be reheated in the oven or on a skillet for a crispy texture.
