Description
Deliciously cheesy chicken wraps are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, blending comfort and flavor effortlessly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large tortillas: Flour tortillas work like a dream for wrappings, but corn ones can add a nice twist if you prefer!
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded: Leftover rotisserie chicken is fantastic here, saving you so much time!
- 1 cup shredded cheese: I recommend either mozzarella for that classic stretch or cheddar for a sharp bite.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced: Fresh garlic elevates the flavor, but if you’re in a hurry, garlic powder will work too!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: This adds a lovely richness while helping the garlic to sauté beautifully.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Don’t skimp—season generously to bring all those flavors to life!
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional): A sprinkle of fresh parsley makes everything pop with color.
Instructions
- Heat that olive oil in a large pan over medium heat, swirling it around. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until it’s fragrant.
- Add your shredded chicken into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Stir it around, cooking until warmed through.
- Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon a generous amount of that warm chicken mixture onto the center, followed by a heap of shredded cheese.
- Tightly wrap the tortilla around the filling, tucking in the ends to keep everything cozy.
- Wipe out the pan, adding more oil if needed, then grill the wrapped tortillas on both sides until beautifully golden brown and the cheese is melted—about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Slice the wraps in half, sprinkle with fresh parsley if you like, and serve warm!
Notes
These wraps are delicious on their own but pair well with a garden salad or sweet potato fries. Consider adding toppings like jalapeños or avocado.
