🌯 Recipe: Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

  • Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Cook time: 15 minutes

  • Servings: 4 Wraps

Ingredients

Component Ingredients
The Protein 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed), 1 tsp garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste
The Sauce 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp dried parsley
The Fillings 2 cups shredded Mozzarella (or Monterey Jack), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
The Base 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
The Finish 2 tbsp melted butter + 2 cloves minced garlic (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Filling: In a medium bowl, toss your cooked chicken with the garlic powder, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, sour cream, and parsley until well coated.

  2. Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat. Place a generous sprinkle of mozzarella in the center. Top with a quarter of the chicken mixture and a dusting of Parmesan.

  3. Fold: Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.

  4. The Sear: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down first. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  5. Garlic Butter Glaze: Mix the melted butter with the fresh minced garlic. Use a pastry brush to coat the hot wraps immediately after removing them from the pan.

  6. Serve: Slice on a diagonal and enjoy while the cheese is stretchy!

💡 Pro Tips & Notes

  • The Chicken Hack: Use a rotisserie chicken from the store to cut your prep time down to zero.

  • Don’t Overfill: It’s tempting to pack these, but too much filling will cause the tortilla to tear or leak during the searing process.

  • Heat Control: Keep the pan at medium or medium-low. If it’s too hot, the tortilla will burn before the cheese inside has a chance to turn into “lava.”

❓ Common Q&A

Q: Can I make these in an Air Fryer?

A: Absolutely! Brush them with the garlic butter first, then air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Q: How do I store leftovers?

A: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a toaster oven or skillet to regain that crunch; the microwave will make them soft.

Q: Can I use whole wheat tortillas?

A: Yes, but keep in mind they are less pliable. Warm them up for 10 seconds in the microwave before folding to prevent cracking.
