Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (57 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (7 g) fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Wrap and Topping:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Craft the aromatic chicken base by sautéing minced garlic in olive oil until it releases its fragrant essence. Introduce shredded chicken with oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, gently stirring to ensure each morsel is thoroughly coated and heated through.
- Unfurl tortillas onto a pristine workspace, creating a canvas for flavor. Distribute a generous layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheese across the tortilla’s center, forming a creamy foundation.
- Nestle the seasoned chicken mixture atop the cheese, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle additional cheese and optional parsley for enhanced texture and visual appeal.
- Execute precise tortilla origami by folding the sides inward, then rolling tightly to secure the filling. Whisk melted butter with garlic, then delicately brush the exterior of each wrap to enhance golden potential.
- Activate a skillet or griddle at medium heat. Position wraps seam-side down, allowing each side to transform into a crisp, golden-brown exterior. This process typically requires 2-3 minutes per side.
- Plate immediately, accompanied by complementary dipping sauces like ranch or marinara, ready to delight eager palates with layers of savory complexity.
Notes
- Optimize garlic flavor by using fresh minced garlic instead of pre-chopped for a more intense, aromatic taste.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like pepper jack or provolone to add unique flavor dimensions to the wraps.
- Ensure chicken is thoroughly warmed and seasoned evenly by gently stirring and breaking up any large chunks during cooking.
- Transform this recipe into a low-carb option by swapping tortillas for large lettuce leaves or using low-carb tortilla alternatives.
