Equipment
- Large skillet or grill pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Cutting board & sharp knife
- Cheese grater
- Foil or parchment (for storage/meal prep)
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (grilled, shredded, or rotisserie)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 tbsp butter (for toasting)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sour cream or garlic aioli (optional spread)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- ½ tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional for heat)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Prep the Garlic Base:
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in butter and let it melt.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay tortillas flat. Spread a thin layer of sour cream or aioli. Add shredded chicken, cheese, and a drizzle of the garlic butter. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Wrap It Up:
- Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
Toast the Wraps:
- Heat a skillet over medium. Place wraps seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
Serve:
- Let rest 1–2 minutes before slicing in half. Garnish with herbs if desired.
Notes
- Healthier swaps: Use whole wheat or low-carb wraps, reduced-fat cheese, and grilled chicken breast.
- Freezer-friendly: Wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best crispness.
- Flavor twists: Try buffalo chicken, Mediterranean-style with hummus, or Italian-style with pesto.
- Pro tip: Always toast seam-side down first to seal the wrap!
