Ingredients
Scale
Wraps and Protein
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
Cheese and Spread
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For Toasting
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Optional Add-ins
- Spinach leaves
- Tomato slices
- Red onion slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Spread: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread half of the garlic mixture evenly onto each flour tortilla. Next, layer the shredded chicken and shredded cheese over the spread. Add any optional ingredients such as spinach, tomatoes, or red onion slices as desired.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla to enclose the filling, then tightly roll them up like a burrito to keep everything sealed inside.
- Toast the Wraps: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm for a delicious, comforting meal.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut that works well for this recipe.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the garlic spread for added flavor complexity.
- For a spicy kick, incorporate red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the garlic spread before assembling.
