Ingredients
Scale
For the Wraps:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Optional Add-Ins:
- Sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
- Hot sauce or salsa
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Sauté the minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed garlic, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to create a creamy filling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly to enclose the filling securely.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and sealed, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the exterior is crisp and golden.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm. Optionally, serve with hot sauce or salsa on the side for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can add sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the filling for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Using whole wheat tortillas adds more fiber and nutrients compared to regular flour tortillas.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and a creamier texture.
- Cook the wraps on medium heat to avoid burning while allowing the cheese to melt fully.
- For a spicier option, add hot sauce or salsa either inside the wrap or as a dipping sauce.
