Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (About 1 lb cooked chicken breast)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (Softened)
- 4 cloves garlic (Minced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (To taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, garlic powder, shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniform.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the chicken and cheese mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each one.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling to contain it, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed.
- Cook the wraps: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet to seal them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool slightly for a minute. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, then cut each wrap in half and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
