Ingredients
Scale
For the Wraps:
- 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)
- Hot sauce or salsa
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Sauté minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed garlic, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your preference and stir well to combine.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly to form a wrap.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half if desired, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your cozy cheesy garlic chicken wraps.
Notes
- You can add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Adding hot sauce or salsa inside the wrap can give it a spicy kick.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- Be careful when cooking the wraps to avoid burning; medium heat is best to melt cheese without burning the tortilla.
- Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
