Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Increase for kid-approved version.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can be swapped for feta in a Mediterranean version.
  • 1/4 cup softened cream cheese For creaminess in filling.
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Use dried if fresh is unavailable.
Wrap Ingredients
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter Brush on wraps for toast.
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic Mixed with melted butter.
  • Optional baby spinach, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes Add for veggie variety.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until creamy and cohesive.
  2. Place tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon 1/4 of the filling into the center of each. Add optional vegetables if desired. Fold sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom to form wraps.
  3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with the mixture.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted inside.
  2. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with a dipping sauce of choice such as ranch or garlic aioli.

Notes

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, wrap individually in foil and place in a freezer bag; they keep well for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
