Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese Filling
- 480g cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 110g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 60g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 20g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 4 large flour tortillas
Garlic Butter
- 45g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Mix the cheesy chicken filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses, mixing thoroughly to create an evenly cheesy filling.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon about 120g of the cheesy chicken mixture in the center. Fold the sides inward first, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a neat burrito-shaped wrap. Repeat for all tortillas and filling.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and dried parsley until well combined and fragrant for a flavorful coating.
- Pan-fry for golden perfection: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush each wrap generously with the garlic butter mixture, then place seam-side down in the skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until wraps turn golden brown and crispy.
- Finish in the oven: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Brush the pan-fried wraps with any remaining garlic butter. Arrange them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wraps are crisp and cheese is melted inside.
- Serve these cheesy delights: Serve wraps immediately while hot and melty. Pair with dipping sauces such as ranch, marinara, or creamy garlic aioli for added indulgence.
Notes
- For a crispier wrap, ensure you pan-fry until golden brown before baking.
- This recipe can be customized with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Gouda for different flavor profiles.
- If preferred, replace flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for dietary needs.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
- Use freshly cooked chicken for best texture and flavor; rotisserie chicken works great as a quick shortcut.
