Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
Cheeses:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Wrap and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium-high heat skillet, releasing aromatic garlic essence for approximately 30-45 seconds until golden and fragrant.
- Incorporate shredded chicken into the skillet, seasoning thoroughly with salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Gradually sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken, gently folding until cheese melts completely and coats the chicken mixture.
- Position tortillas on a clean surface, methodically distributing the warm, cheesy chicken filling across the center of each wrap.
- Carefully fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly to create compact, sealed wraps.
- Return skillet to medium heat, placing wraps seam-side down and cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until exterior transforms into a crispy, golden-brown texture.
- Transfer wraps to serving plate, optionally garnishing with finely chopped fresh parsley for an elegant touch and additional flavor complexity.
- Serve immediately while cheese remains gooey and wraps maintain their delightful crispness.
Notes
- Swap chicken with tofu or plant-based protein for a vegetarian version that maintains the delicious cheesy garlic flavor profile.
- Use low-fat cheese and whole wheat tortillas to create a healthier alternative without compromising taste.
- Toast wraps slowly on medium-low heat to ensure even golden crispiness and prevent burning the tortilla edges.
- Fresh garlic provides more intense flavor compared to pre-minced options, so crush cloves just before cooking for maximum aromatic impact.
