- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauces and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- Fresh spinach or lettuce (optional)
Instructions
- Gently sauté minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until aromatic, then remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.
- Combine cooled garlic with mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce.
- In a separate skillet, warm shredded chicken over medium heat, gradually incorporating mozzarella and cheddar cheese until chicken is thoroughly coated and cheese melts completely.
- Heat tortillas either in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or lightly toast in a dry skillet to enhance flexibility and warmth.
- Layer each tortilla with an even spread of prepared garlic sauce, ensuring complete coverage.
- Distribute the melted cheesy chicken mixture evenly across the tortillas.
- Add fresh spinach or crisp lettuce leaves for additional texture and nutrition.
- Carefully roll the tortillas, tucking in the sides to create a tight, secure wrap.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while still warm for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize the garlic sauce by adding a splash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for extra kick and heat.
- Swap traditional tortillas with low-carb alternatives like lettuce wraps or cauliflower tortillas for a lighter, gluten-free version.
- Enhance protein content by using rotisserie chicken or adding grilled shrimp as an alternative protein option.
- Prep components ahead of time to create quick, convenient meals during busy weekdays, storing sauce and cooked chicken separately in airtight containers.
