Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Tender shredded chicken tossed in homemade garlic butter, wrapped with melted cheddar cheese in a flour tortilla, and pan-seared until golden and crispy.
Equipment
- Large Skillet (non-stick or cast iron)
- Pastry Brush
- Tongs
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 4 Large Flour Tortillas (Burrito Size)
- 2 cups Cooked Chicken, shredded (Rotisserie works best)
- 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
For the Garlic Butter:
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
- Season Chicken: Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl. Pour half of the garlic butter mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
- Prepare Tortillas: Microwave tortillas for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat. Place 1/4 cup of cheese in the center. Top with 1/2 cup of the garlic chicken. Top with another 1/4 cup of cheese.
- Fold: Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla in towards the center. Roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito shape.
- Heat Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Sear: Brush the outside of the wraps with the remaining garlic butter. Place the wraps in the hot skillet, seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip: Carefully flip the wraps and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from pan, cut in half diagonally, and serve immediately.
Notes
If you don't have a pastry brush, you can simply melt the butter in the pan and roll the wraps in it before searing. For extra crunch, press the wraps down with a spatula while cooking.
