Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps and Cooking
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to create a uniform filling.
- Season the filling: Add salt and pepper to the mixture to taste, ensuring the flavors are well balanced before assembling the wraps.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the large tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each tortilla, spreading it out to cover but leaving some space at the edges.
- Roll the tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla so that the filling is enclosed securely, forming neat wraps ready for cooking.
- Heat the skillet and oil: Place a skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up to ensure a nice golden crisp on the wraps.
- Cook the wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook each side for approximately 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from your favorite recipe or store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily with other ingredients.
- Cooking the wraps seam-side down first helps them stay closed during frying.
- You can add some chili flakes or hot sauce to the filling for a spicy kick.
- Serve with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
