Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (about 280g)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella and sharp cheddar recommended, about 170g)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (divided, about 28g)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened (about 56g)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch red pepper flakes
  • Optional: handful baby spinach
  • Optional: sliced tomatoes or roasted red peppers

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, shredded cheese, minced garlic, softened cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Toss until evenly coated. Stir in optional spinach or red pepper flakes if using.
  2. Warm tortillas by stacking and microwaving for 15-20 seconds, or wrapping in foil and heating in a 300°F oven for 2-3 minutes until pliable.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 of the filling down the center. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush on the outside of each wrap.
  5. Heat a large nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed.
  6. Transfer wraps to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Slice in half on the diagonal. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to avoid soggy wraps. Don’t overstuff; about 3/4 cup filling per wrap is ideal. Press wraps gently while toasting for even melting and crispiness. Filling can be made up to 2 days ahead. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. For vegetarian, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms, roasted peppers, or white beans.
