Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (about 250g), shredded or diced
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch/25cm)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella and sharp cheddar blend recommended, about 170g)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (about 115g)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (about 30g)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, to taste
- Optional: sliced green onions
- Optional: spinach leaves
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients: shred or dice chicken, mince garlic, chop parsley, and set out tortillas, shredded cheese, and softened cream cheese.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chicken, shredded cheese, minced garlic, cream cheese, and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until evenly mixed. Add optional red pepper flakes or green onions if desired.
- Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the filling onto the lower third of the tortilla and spread, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito shape. Place seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Melt butter in a small bowl. Optionally, stir in a pinch of minced garlic for extra flavor. Brush the tops and sides of each wrap with melted butter.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden and crisp. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Toast in batches if needed.
- Remove wraps from skillet and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half on the diagonal. Sprinkle with extra parsley or flaky sea salt if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Do not overfill the wraps to prevent leaking. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds if they are stiff. The wraps can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, then toasted when ready to eat. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or chickpeas. Gluten-free or low-carb tortillas can be used as needed. For extra crispiness, try toasting in an air fryer or baking in the oven.
