Ingredients

Scale

8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cooked and shredded or diced
2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Optional add-ins: red pepper flakes, chopped baby spinach or arugula, sliced jalapeños or roasted red peppers

Instructions

Cook the chicken (if not using leftovers): Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sauté in a skillet with a drizzle of oil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Let cool slightly, then shred or dice.
Melt the garlic butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Stir in minced garlic (or garlic powder) and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and any optional add-ins. Toss until well mixed.
Assemble the wraps: Lay out tortillas. Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly between them, spooning onto the lower third of each. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
Brush with garlic butter: Brush the outsides of each wrap with the prepared garlic butter, especially the seams.
Toast the wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and crispy.
Slice and serve: Let wraps cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half on the bias, sprinkle with parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese for ultimate meltiness. Don’t overfill the wraps to avoid spillage. If using gluten-free or low-carb tortillas, handle gently as they may be more delicate. Secure wraps with toothpicks if needed before toasting. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or oven, not the microwave.
