Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce (optional)
  • Olive oil (for cooking)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the chicken is coated in the cheesy mixture.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  2. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken and cheese mixture into the center of the tortilla.
  3. If desired, add a handful of fresh spinach or lettuce on top of the filling for extra crunch and freshness.
  4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling is secure inside.

Step 3: Cook the Wraps

  1. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet to prevent them from opening.
  3. Cook each wrap for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easy serving.
  2. Serve the wraps warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.
  3. Pair with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete, satisfying meal.

Cooking Notes

  • Chicken Options: Use rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or leftover roast chicken for quick preparation.
  • Add Heat: For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
  • Make it Healthier: Swap the flour tortillas with whole wheat tortillas or low-carb wraps.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cook the wraps in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve these wraps with a side of sweet potato fries or chips and salsa for a casual meal.
  • Add a cup of soup on the side for a cozy lunch combo.
  • Perfect for meal prep—make a few wraps ahead of time, and just reheat them in a pan when needed.

Tips

  1. Make it Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just assemble and cook the wraps when ready to eat.
  2. Custom Fillings: Try adding sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or avocado slices for extra flavor.
  3. Crispier Finish: After cooking, place the wraps under a broiler for 1-2 minutes for an extra-crispy crust.
