Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken (rotisserie chicken preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Wraps and Topping

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (for butter mixture)

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic. Set aside to allow flavors to infuse.
  2. Mix the Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken and olive oil. Sprinkle in garlic powder, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken with seasonings.
  3. Add the Cheeses and Creamy Ingredients: To the seasoned chicken, add shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise or sour cream. Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Incorporate Fresh Parsley and Optional Ingredients: Fold in chopped fresh parsley and, if using, fresh spinach leaves and chopped tomatoes for extra freshness and texture.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately one-quarter of the chicken and cheese filling evenly over the center of the tortilla.
  6. Fold and Secure: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other, creating a compact wrap.
  7. Toast the Wraps: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of each wrap with the prepared garlic butter. Place the wraps seam side down on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the filling is warmed through.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your cheesy garlic chicken wraps while warm and melty!

Notes

  • For ease, use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and shredding.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste; fresh garlic adds more boldness than garlic powder.
  • To make these wraps healthier, consider using low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheeses.
  • To vary flavors, add different herbs like cilantro or basil instead of parsley.
  • These wraps can be prepared in advance and toasted just before serving for convenience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
