Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken (Can swap with shredded turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh garlic can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (Can be omitted)
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Can substitute with provolone or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Can swap with Monterey Jack)
  • 4 ounces Softened Cream Cheese (Replace with Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (Can be substituted with Greek yogurt or omitted)
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley (Dried parsley can be used if fresh is unavailable)

Wraps and Coating

  • 4 large Flour Tortillas (Can substitute with whole wheat or corn tortillas)
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter (Use olive oil for a healthier option)
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic (Can be omitted)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Gather all ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Pre-cook and shred the chicken if not already done.
  2. Mix filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  3. Assemble wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. You may add extra vegetables if desired to enhance texture and flavor.
  4. Fold and roll: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to create secure wraps that will hold the filling in place when cooking.
  5. Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with minced garlic, mixing well. This mixture will be brushed on the outside of the wraps for added flavor and browning.
  6. Toast wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the wraps become golden brown and the cheeses inside melt.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half, and serve warm. Accompany with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, marinara, or chipotle mayo for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Using fresh garlic instead of garlic powder can enhance the flavor profile.
  • Substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt to reduce fat content.
  • Whole wheat or corn tortillas can be used as a healthier alternative to flour tortillas.
  • Adding vegetables like bell peppers or spinach inside the wrap gives a nutritional boost and adds crunch.
  • Olive oil can be used in place of butter for a heart-healthier option when brushing the wraps.
  • Make sure to toast the wraps seam-side down first to seal them properly and prevent filling from leaking.
  • Wraps are best served immediately for optimal cheesiness and crisp texture.
