🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4 wraps):
For the Filling:
2 cups shredded cooked chicken 🍗
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
2 tbsp butter 🧈
4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened 🧀
1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix 🌿
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat) 🌶️
1/2 tsp paprika (for a smoky flavor) 🌶️
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish) 🌿
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
For the Tortillas:
4 large flour tortillas 🌯
1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing 🛢️
📝 Instructions:
1. Make the Garlic Chicken Filling:
Cook garlic: In a medium skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Mix the filling: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the butter and garlic. Then, add the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until everything is well combined, and the cream cheese melts into the chicken mixture.
Add cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until the mixture is creamy and gooey. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
2. Prepare the Tortillas:
Warm tortillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place each flour tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds per side, just until warm and soft. This will make them easier to roll and less likely to tear.
Brush with oil: Lightly brush the top of each tortilla with olive oil for extra crispiness and flavor.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
Fill the tortillas: Place about 1/4 cup of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Roll them up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
4. Cook the Wraps:
Pan-fry the wraps: Heat a little bit of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be melted inside, and the wraps should be crispy on the outside.
5. Serve:
Garnish: Once the wraps are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Slice and enjoy: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately with a side of ranch dressing, guacamole, or salsa for dipping!
🌟 Pro Tips:
Add extra flavor: You can mix in some finely chopped onion, jalapeños, or bell peppers into the filling for added flavor and crunch.
Make it spicy: If you want more heat, try adding a bit of hot sauce or sriracha to the filling or sprinkle some chili flakes on top.
Shred your own chicken: For the best flavor, cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, then shred them yourself. This also allows you to season the chicken the way you like.
Make ahead: You can prepare the chicken filling ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, then just assemble and cook the wraps when you’re ready to eat.
