Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or oregano/basil)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves (optional)
  • Cooking spray or extra butter for toasting

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and dried Italian herbs until well combined. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley. Toss until evenly coated. Fold in spinach if using.
  3. Lay out tortillas. Spread about 1 tablespoon garlic butter over each tortilla, covering the surface lightly.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons cheddar onto each wrap. Top evenly with chicken filling.
  5. Fold the sides of each tortilla in about an inch, then roll up tightly from the bottom (burrito style). Place seam-side down.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or add a pat of butter. Place wraps seam-side down. Toast for 2–3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula until golden brown. Flip and toast the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
  7. Remove from pan, let rest for a minute, then slice in half on a diagonal. Serve hot.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent splitting. Use gluten-free tortillas and dairy-free cheese for dietary adaptations. For extra crisp, brush the outside of wraps with garlic butter before toasting. Mix and match cheeses or add veggies for variety. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
