Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Step 2: Stir in shredded chicken, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through and coated with seasonings. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Step 3: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the center of the tortilla.
4. Step 4: Add a generous scoop of the garlic chicken mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a little more cheese and chopped parsley if using.
5. Step 5: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
6. Step 6: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the outside of each wrap.
7. Step 7: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Step 8: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or marinara.

Tips & Variations

• For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
• Substitute cooked turkey or leftover grilled chicken for a different protein option.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add extra fiber and nutrients.
• Adding sautéed onions or bell peppers to the filling boosts flavor and adds texture.
• Brush wraps with olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps tightly wrapped in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to maintain the wrap’s texture.
