  • Yield: 4 wraps (serves 2–4)
  • Category: Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Wrap
  • Method: Sautéing, Skillet, Rolling
  • Cuisine: American‑Inspired

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter (divided)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or Italian seasoning (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the cooked chicken, season with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheese until the mixture becomes creamy and the cheese begins to melt.
  4. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon an even amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  5. Roll the tortillas up burrito-style, folding in the sides as you go to seal the filling.
  6. In a clean skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and press gently. Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
  7. Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley or Italian seasoning, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add chopped spinach, sautéed onions, or sliced jalapeños to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack instead of mozzarella for a different melt and flavor profile.
  • For a lighter version, skip the butter and cook in a nonstick pan with a light spray of oil.
  • Bake the wraps instead: place on a parchment‑lined baking sheet and bake at 400 °F (200 °C) for 12–15 minutes, flipping once, for a hands-off method.
  • These wraps freeze well — wrap individually in foil and freeze up to a month. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer until crispy and the cheese is melted.
