The image shows two thick tortilla wraps stacked on a white plate, each cut in half to show the filling inside. The filling has three layers: the bottom layer is light-colored grilled chicken pieces with a slightly browned texture, the middle layer is gooey melted cheese with creamy white and orange spots, and the top layer has some green herbs scattered throughout. The tortilla is golden brown with dark grill marks and a soft, slightly shiny texture. The background is a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Stir in the shredded chicken, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is warmed through and evenly coated with the seasonings. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese in the center.
Step 4: Add a generous scoop of the garlic chicken mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle more cheese over the chicken and add fresh parsley if using.
Step 5: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly like a burrito.
Step 6: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and the remaining minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the outside of each wrap.
Step 7: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or marinara.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
Swap cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Leftover wraps can be reheated in a skillet for a crispy exterior instead of a microwave.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispiness or microwave briefly if preferred. Avoid wrapping in foil before reheating in a microwave to keep the tortilla soft.
