Tender shredded chicken, gooey cheese, and aromatic garlic wrapped in tortillas make for an easy, satisfying meal that’s ideal for busy weeknights and satisfying cravings.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked in advance)
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and well mixed. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the garlic chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  3. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from one end to the other, creating a wrap. For extra crispness, brush the outside with a little olive oil.
  4. Place the wraps on a preheated skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese has melted. Alternatively, use an air fryer at 375°F for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • You can prepare the filling and assemble the wraps ahead of time and refrigerate. Reheat before serving for best taste and texture.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella for varied flavors.
  • To make the wraps low-carb, substitute tortillas with lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.
