Ingredients
For the chicken filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a sharper flavor)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Prepare the filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture into the center.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Make the garlic butter topping
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and oregano. Brush this mixture over the top of each wrap.
- Cook the wraps
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
- Alternatively, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve
- Slice in half and serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
- For a full meal: Pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
- For dipping: Try marinara, garlic butter, or a creamy ranch dressing.
