Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Chicken Filling: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the shredded chicken, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through and evenly coated in the seasonings. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Sprinkle about a quarter of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the center of the tortilla. Top with a generous scoop of the prepared garlic chicken mixture. Add another small sprinkle of both cheeses and a bit of fresh parsley, if using.
  3. Fold and Toast the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito-style wrap. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the outside of each wrapped tortilla.
  4. Cook the Wraps: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula as they cook, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Work in batches if necessary, adding a bit more butter if the pan becomes dry.
  5. Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or marinara on the side.

Notes

  • For an extra garlicky flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the cheese mixture.
  • Swap in whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
  • You can prepare the chicken filling ahead and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Customize with your favorite cheese blends or add veggies like sautéed bell peppers.
  • To make it spicier, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the chicken filling.
