Recipe Details:
- Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (grilled or rotisserie works great)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
- Sliced jalapeños
- Fresh spinach or arugula
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions:
- Prepare the Garlic Chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Set aside.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each tortilla.
- Add a generous portion of the garlic chicken to the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese and any optional add-ins (like jalapeños or spinach).
- Wrap and Seal:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly to form a wrap.
- Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and parsley.
- Cook the Wraps:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be melted, and the wraps should hold their shape.
- Serve:
- Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with your favorite dips or sides.
Suggested Sides:
- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Guacamole
- A fresh green salad
