Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced peppers, onions, or jalapeños for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add cooked chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until warmed through and lightly brown. Consider adding chopped onions or peppers for extra flavor.
  3. Spread a layer of sour cream or Greek yogurt on each tortilla. Distribute the garlic chicken evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Add additional toppings like sliced peppers or herbs if desired.
  4. Carefully fold the sides of the tortillas inward and roll them tightly. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place the wraps seam-side down, and grill each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cheese has melted thoroughly.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro. Pair with salads or vegetables for a complete meal or sliced into smaller pieces for appetizers.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wraps, finish grilling in a skillet until golden brown.
  • You can prepare the wraps in advance and refrigerate them; reheat and grill before serving.
  • Customize fillings with vegetables or different cheese varieties to suit your taste.
