Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish
Optional add-ins: sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
Optional add-ins: hot sauce or salsa

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed garlic, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
Step 3: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. If using, add sautéed vegetables or a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa.
Step 4: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly into a wrap.
Step 5: Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Grill each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Step 6: Slice the wraps in half, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For a creamier texture, add a little sour cream or Greek yogurt to the filling mixture.
Try different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick or Monterey Jack for a milder flavor.
Add crunch with fresh lettuce or sliced cucumbers inside the wrap after grilling.
To keep wraps warm before serving, wrap them in foil and place in a low oven (200°F) for up to 15 minutes.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until heated through and the cheese melts again. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortillas crisp.

How to Serve

Bright green chopped parsley is sprinkled generously over the burritos and scattered on the plate as a garnish. Behind the plate, two small black bowls hold a white creamy sauce and a vibrant red salsa with bits of yellow corn and green herbs.
