Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 large chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
Cheeses:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a flavorful garlic-infused chicken mixture by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until aromatic, approximately 1 minute.
- Incorporate shredded chicken into the skillet, blending with cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring chicken is thoroughly heated and evenly coated.
- Remove skillet from heat and fold in mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, stirring until they begin to melt and integrate with the chicken mixture.
- Prepare tortillas by spreading a layer of sour cream across each one. Distribute the cheesy chicken filling centrally along the tortilla’s length.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, then roll from the bottom, creating a compact and secure wrap.
- Heat the remaining butter in a clean skillet over medium temperature. Position wraps seam-side down, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Slice wraps diagonally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Customize the chicken filling by using rotisserie chicken for extra convenience and faster preparation.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheese options to create a lighter version of the wraps.
- Ensure tortillas are at room temperature for easier rolling and preventing tearing during cooking.
