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: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic 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 the mixture with salt and pepper to taste and mix well until fully combined.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. If desired, add optional sautéed vegetables or a splash of hot sauce or salsa. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Cook the Wraps: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and slice each in half diagonally. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use cheddar cheese for a sharper taste or mozzarella for a milder, creamy texture.
- To make it spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a spoonful of salsa in the filling.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Wraps can be kept warm in a low oven if preparing multiple at once.
