Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- Optional: 1 handful baby spinach
- Optional: 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and just golden. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, half the sautéed garlic butter, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Lay out tortillas. Spoon the chicken-cheese mixture evenly down the center of each. Add optional fillings if desired. Roll each tortilla up tightly, tucking in the sides.
- Heat the skillet back to medium. Brush the outside of each wrap with the remaining garlic butter. Place seam-side down in the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy. Cover the pan to help the cheese melt if needed.
- Slice wraps in half on the diagonal. Sprinkle with extra parsley or flaky salt if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking. Don’t overstuff wraps to avoid bursting. Brush garlic butter on the outside for extra crispiness. Cover the pan for gooier cheese. Let wraps rest a minute before slicing for best results. Can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with substitutions.
