Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie or grilled chicken works well)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or a mix of both)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Garlic Chicken Filling
- In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and golden (don’t let it burn).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese, sautéed garlic butter, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
- Mix everything until it becomes a creamy, cheesy chicken filling.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon 3–4 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center.
- Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly into a burrito-style wrap.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 3: Grill the Wraps
- Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.
- Remove from heat and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half.
