  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Description

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a deliciously indulgent meal featuring tender cooked chicken combined with a blend of mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Wrapped in flour tortillas, brushed with a flavorful garlic butter mixture, pan-fried to a golden crisp, and finished in the oven for perfect melty goodness, these wraps offer a comforting and savory dish perfect for lunch or dinner.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
