Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 2 cups (475 ml) cooked chicken breast, shredded

Cheese and Dairy:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter, melted

Herbs, Seasonings, and Aromatics:

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Wrapping Ingredient:

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Optional Fresh Ingredient:

  • Fresh spinach or lettuce

Instructions

  1. In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly amalgamate the tender, shredded chicken with a medley of mozzarella, velvety cream cheese, aromatic garlic, robust Italian seasoning, and a precise balance of salt and pepper.
  2. Arrange soft tortillas on a clean surface, distributing the savory chicken blend uniformly across each wrap with careful precision.
  3. Optional: Enhance the wrap’s nutritional profile by layering fresh spinach or crisp lettuce leaves atop the chicken mixture.
  4. Carefully fold and tightly roll each tortilla, ensuring a compact and secure enclosure of the flavorful filling.
  5. Generously apply a delicate brush of melted butter across the exterior of each wrapped creation.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet to medium heat, approximately 325°F, and strategically place the prepared wraps.
  7. Sear each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side, monitoring the transformation to a golden-brown exterior and ensuring the cheese achieves a luxurious, molten consistency.
  8. Transfer the perfectly crisped wraps to a serving platter, presenting them while still piping hot and invitingly aromatic.

Notes

  • Customize your wraps by swapping chicken with rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
  • Make the recipe gluten-free by using large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas or choosing gluten-free tortilla options.
  • Enhance the protein content by adding a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits or diced ham into the chicken mixture for extra texture and taste.
  • Prepare the filling ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, allowing for quick assembly when you’re ready to cook the wraps.
