# List of Ingredients:
→ Chicken Filling
01 -
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (preferably rotisserie or leftover grilled/baked chicken)
02 -
3 ounces cream cheese, full-fat, at room temperature
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 -
3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
05 -
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
0.5 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
07 -
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Assembly
08 -
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, soft and pliable)
09 -
1.25 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, divided
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until foaming, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid browning.
02 -
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the room-temperature cream cheese, mixing until fully melted and smoothly combined with the garlic butter. Whisk in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is uniform without lumps.
03 -
Add the shredded chicken and half of the shredded cheese to the skillet, stirring until the chicken is evenly coated and the cheese begins to melt into the filling.
04 -
Lay out flour tortillas and spoon about one quarter of the chicken mixture into the center of each, leaving space at the edges. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over each portion. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal.
05 -
Place wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese is completely melted inside.
06 -
Transfer the toasted wraps to a cutting board, let rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice each diagonally with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry skillet before filling to prevent cracking and ensure easier rolling.
02 -
Do not overfill the wraps to allow proper sealing and prevent bursting during toasting.
03 -
Store cooked wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
