Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: If not already cooked, season chicken breasts lightly with salt and black pepper. Bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked, then dice into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Sauté garlic: In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
- Combine chicken and garlic: Add the diced chicken to the pan with the garlic oil and toss well to infuse the chicken evenly with the garlic flavor.
- Add cheeses: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken is still hot to allow the cheese to begin melting.
- Assemble wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
- Pan-toast wraps: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet, pressing gently. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid spilling.
- Rest and serve: Once all wraps are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time or cook fresh as preferred.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to taste if you prefer less or more pronounced flavor.
- For a spicier touch, add a pinch of chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Butter helps achieve a crispy, golden crust on the wraps; alternatively, use olive oil but expect a different texture.
- These wraps are best enjoyed warm right after cooking for the perfect melty cheese texture.
- Chopped fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness but is optional.
