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 the 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 taste and mix until well combined.
- 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. If using, add your choice of sautéed vegetables or a splash of hot sauce or salsa. Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to enclose the filling.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each assembled wrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half if desired, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas based on dietary preferences.
- Feel free to add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of cheese according to your taste for a lighter or cheesier wrap.
- For spicier wraps, add hot sauce or salsa either inside the filling or served on the side.
- Use cooked leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save prep time.
- Ensure the wraps are cooked seam-side down first to seal properly and prevent them from unrolling while cooking.
