I threw these wraps together on a crazy busy night and instantly loved how filling they were while ready in less than half an hour
What’s Inside
- 4 soft flour tortillas: fresh and bendy wraps that easily hold the filling
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional): gives a fresh, bright touch to the flavor
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: brings a sharp, rich taste to the mix
- 2 cups cooked diced chicken breast: main protein, best fresh or rotisserie for ease
- 4 cloves minced garlic: adds a strong aromatic kick, fresh works best
- 1 tablespoon butter: for crisping the wraps outside
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: melts nicely for creamy goodness
- Salt and black pepper to taste: to bring out the flavors
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: to cook up the garlic and chicken
Step-by-Step Guide
- Start With Chicken:
- If your chicken isn’t cooked yet, season it lightly with salt and pepper. Cook through by grilling, baking, or pan-frying until done. Chop it into small pieces so it’s easy to eat in the wrap.
- Cook Garlic:
- Heat olive oil on medium then toss in the minced garlic. Let it cook just until you smell the fragrance and it turns a light golden, about 30 seconds to a minute, to keep it from getting bitter.
- Mix Chicken and Garlic:
- Throw the chicken into the pan, mixing it well so every bit gets coated in the garlic oil for full flavor.
- Cheese It Up:
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in mozzarella and cheddar while it’s still hot so the cheese melts right in.
- Put Wraps Together:
- Spread out each tortilla, spoon a good amount of cheesy chicken in the middle, fold in the sides, and roll it up tight like a burrito.
- Toast Wraps:
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Set the wraps seam side down and press lightly. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes each side until you get a golden crisp shell and melty inside.
- Rest and Add Freshness:
- Take them off the heat and let sit for a minute. Sprinkle with parsley if you like, then serve while warm for the best taste and texture.
