Ingredients
Wraps
- 2 tortillas or wraps
Filling
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or garlic sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Extras
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Prepare garlic: Heat butter or olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- Warm chicken: Add the cooked shredded or diced chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté with the garlic for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is warmed through and well flavored.
- Assemble wraps: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly distribute the garlic chicken mixture on each. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken, then spread mayonnaise or garlic sauce on top. Add optional lettuce and tomato slices if desired.
- Fold and toast: Fold the wraps tightly to enclose the filling. Place each wrap seam-side down on the pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese melts thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the pan, slice each in half, and serve warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and enhanced flavor.
- Add chili flakes or hot sauce to the chicken mixture for a spicy kick.
- Substitute mayonnaise with yogurt or avocado for a healthier option.
- Choose your favorite cheese variety to customize taste and meltiness.
