Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken (rotisserie works perfectly)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or sour cream for tang)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic (for brushing)
- Optional additions: Baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Stir everything together until fully mixed. The filling should be thick, creamy, and slightly sticky from the melted cheeses.
Pro Tip: For extra flavor, you can toss the chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. Spoon about ¼ of the chicken mixture into the center of each wrap. Add optional ingredients like baby spinach, lettuce, or tomatoes if you’d like a bit of freshness and crunch. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito-style wrap.
🌯 The tighter the wrap, the better the melt—and less cheese leakage while toasting.
Step 3: Garlic Butter Brushing
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons melted butter with 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with the garlic butter mixture. This not only enhances flavor but also helps get that perfectly golden, crispy finish.
Step 4: Toast to Perfection
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the wraps are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the cheese is melted inside.
Work in batches if needed , depending on your skillet size.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice in half (diagonally, if you want that café-style look) and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, garlic aioli, or even marinara all work beautifully.
Tips for Success
- Chicken Shortcut: Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time. Simply shred or chop it up—it’s already seasoned and delicious!
- Cheese Swap: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or gouda for a unique twist.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Assemble and toast the wraps just before serving.
- Add Veggies: Customize with extras like sautéed mushrooms, roasted red peppers, or caramelized onions for added depth of flavor.
