Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (grilled, shredded, or rotisserie)
- 4 medium or large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
- Optional: ranch dressing, spinach, diced tomatoes, red onion, hot sauce
Instructions
-
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in cooked chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through and coated in garlic butter.
-
Lay tortillas flat and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese down the center.
-
Spoon the garlic chicken mixture over the cheese. Add more cheese if desired.
-
Fold in the sides and roll into wraps.
-
Return the wraps to the skillet, seam-side down, and cook over medium heat until golden and cheese is melted—about 2–3 minutes per side.
-
Slice and serve warm with ranch or garlic dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can use raw chicken—just dice it and cook fully in the garlic butter before assembling.
- For extra flavor, add chopped spinach, roasted red peppers, or avocado.
- Try a spicy twist with red pepper flakes or sriracha in the garlic butter.
- Use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese for a lighter option.
- Bake instead of pan-frying: 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, until golden and hot.
