🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded or chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup shredded cheddar
- 2 tbsp cream cheese or sour cream
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley or green onion
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup extra shredded cheese (for sealing or topping)
- Butter or oil (for browning)
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sauté Garlic
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter.
Toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Don’t let it burn.
2. Mix in Chicken & Seasoning
Add shredded chicken to the skillet.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir everything to coat the chicken evenly.
3. Add Cheese & Creaminess
Turn off the heat.
Stir in the mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese or sour cream.
Add the parsley or green onion.
Mix until smooth, creamy, and melty.
4. Build the Wraps
Lay out your tortillas.
Spoon the cheesy garlic chicken down the center.
Add extra cheese if you want more stretch and pull.
Fold the sides in, then roll tightly like a burrito.
5. Pan-Sear for Crispiness
In a clean skillet, melt a bit of butter or drizzle oil over medium heat.
Place the wraps seam-side down.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to press them slightly.
6. Slice & Serve
Cut each wrap in half (diagonally for max visual appeal).
Serve hot with dipping sauces like ranch, chipotle mayo, garlic aioli, or your favorite hot sauce.
