  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (preferably grilled or baked)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Hot sauce or additional seasonings to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. If your chicken isn’t already cooked, bake or grill it until done. For shredded chicken, use pre-cooked chicken and warm it up in a skillet or microwave. Mix the shredded chicken with the garlic butter for added flavor.
  3. Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the garlic-infused chicken mixture in the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and, if desired, chopped parsley or hot sauce for extra flavor. Repeat for all wraps.
  4. Option 1: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place the assembled wraps seam-side down, and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Option 2: For crispier wraps, consider using an Ninja Air Fryer Pro or a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with a grilling attachment to achieve a perfect, crispy exterior.

Notes

  • For an even healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
  • Customize with additional veggies like bell peppers or onions for more crunch and nutrients.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warm and cheese melts.
