Ingredients

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shredded chicken, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook until the chicken is thoroughly warmed and the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the warmed chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken, then add chopped parsley if using. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them up burrito-style to enclose the filling securely.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter: Combine the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic to create a garlic butter mixture. Using a brush, generously coat the outside of each wrap with the garlic butter for added flavor and crispiness.
  4. Toast the Wraps: Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down onto the skillet and toast for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and allow them to rest briefly. Slice each wrap diagonally with a sharp knife, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken from a rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
  • You can substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps if preferred.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can be used instead of parsley for variation.
  • To make it vegetarian, replace chicken with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
  • Serve with a side of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor.
