Equipment
- Skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken shredded or diced
- 4-6 large flour tortillas Tortillas
- 3-4 cloves Garlic minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
- 1.5 cups Cheese shredded Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Mexican blend
Optional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1-2 dashes Hot Sauce
Pantry Staples
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Butter
- Salt
- Pepper
Garnish
- Fresh Parsley or Cilantro optional, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- If using fresh garlic, heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add cooked shredded chicken.
- Flavor the chicken by sautéing with garlic for 2-3 minutes; if using garlic powder, add it now. Stir in mayonnaise and hot sauce, if desired, then season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle cheese in the center, and spoon a generous portion of the garlicky chicken mixture over the cheese, then top with more shredded cheese.
Cooking
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook the wraps seam-side down for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling; brush with olive oil for extra crispiness.
Serving
- Remove wraps from the skillet, let cool for a minute, then slice in half if desired and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if using.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken for an even quicker prep time.
