Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (Use leftover, rotisserie, or quick skillet chicken.)
- 4 large Tortillas, burrito size (Flour tortillas work well.)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (Mozzarella is recommended for melting.)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (Adds depth to the flavor.)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (Fresh or garlic paste can be used.)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese or Greek yogurt (For creaminess in the filling.)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (For a silky texture.)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or olive oil (For toasting the wraps.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (To taste.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper (To taste.)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Fresh lemon for added brightness.)
Optional ingredients
- 1 cup Spinach, chopped (For added nutrition.)
- 1/4 cup Chopped parsley (For garnish and freshness.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (If you like a bit of heat.)
Instructions
Cooking the Chicken
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Cook in a skillet until it reaches 165°F inside. Shred or chop the chicken.
Making the Filling
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, mayo, minced garlic, mozzarella, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked chicken.
- Taste and adjust flavors. Add lemon juice and red pepper flakes for brightness and heat, if desired.
Assembling and Crisping the Wraps
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds so they bend easily.
- Spread the filling in a line down the middle of each tortilla, adding spinach or parsley if desired. Fold like a burrito.
- Heat a nonstick skillet with a little butter or olive oil over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and toast until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Press gently with a spatula while toasting for a good crust.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
Keep the filling thick to prevent leaks. Use low to medium heat while toasting for the best results. Feel free to customize with additional ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or bacon.
