Ingredients (Makes 4 wraps):
For the Chicken & Cheese Filling:
480g (1 lb) cooked chicken breast , shredded or diced (rotisserie works well)
110g (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese for plant-based version)
60g (½ cup) cheddar cheese , shredded
20g (¼ cup) Parmesan cheese , grated (or nutritional yeast for dairy-free)
For the Garlic Butter:
45g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter , melted (or olive oil for lighter option)
2 cloves garlic , minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh herbs for extra freshness)
For Assembly:
4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat, gluten-free, or low-carb wraps)
Optional: Jalapeños, spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms for added texture.
Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine:
Shredded chicken
Mozzarella
Cheddar
Parmesan
Stir until evenly mixed and slightly sticky.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat and spoon ¼ of the filling onto the center.
Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly like a burrito. Press gently to seal.
Repeat with remaining wraps and filling.
Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix:
Melted butter
Minced garlic
Dried parsley
This creates a fragrant, golden glaze for the wraps.
Step 4: Cook the Wraps
Option 1: Skillet Method
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Brush wraps lightly with garlic butter and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Option 2: Baking Method
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) .
Place wraps seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush with garlic butter and bake 10–12 minutes , flipping halfway through.
Step 5: Serve Hot & Flavorful
Transfer wraps to a serving plate and slice in half if desired.
Serve warm with:
Ranch dressing
Marinara sauce
Garlic aioli or hummus
Each bite brings together:
Juicy, seasoned chicken filling
Stretchy, melted cheese pockets
Golden, garlicky crisp tortilla shell
And that classic herb-butter finish
Tips for Success:
Use Cold Hands: Helps shape and roll without sticking.
Add Veggies: Stir in sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
Cheese Swap Magic: Try pepper jack, Gouda, or goat cheese for different flavors.
Spice It Up: Add chili flakes, cayenne, or hot sauce to the filling or butter glaze.
Make Ahead Magic: Wrap unbaked wraps and refrigerate—reheat in oven before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with coleslaw, sweet potato fries, or a crisp green salad.
Great for lunch boxes, movie nights, or game-day snacks.
Ideal with coffee, iced tea, or a cold drink to balance richness.
