Prep Time

Total Time
- 20 minutes
Servings
- 4 wraps
Ingredients
→ Main Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast , shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- ½ cup creamy garlic aioli
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese , freshly shredded
- 4 large flour tortillas
→ Seasonings:
- Salt , to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper , to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Mixture
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken with the garlic aioli. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
- Gently warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, leaving space at the edges.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken filling.
Step 4: Roll the Wraps
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling.
- Fold in both sides toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, keeping the filling tucked in.
Step 5: Cook the Wraps
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the heated skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes , or until golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the wraps and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese inside is fully melted.
Step 6: Serve
- Let the wraps cool for just a minute to make slicing easier.
- Cut each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately while the cheese is still melty and the outside is crisp.
Pro Tips
- Rotisserie Chicken Hack: Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken. Just shred or dice it before mixing with the garlic aioli.
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid overloading the wraps with too much filling, as this can make them difficult to roll and may cause them to burst while cooking.
- Skillet Temperature: Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
- Customize: Add extras like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sliced jalapeños for added flavor and texture.
