Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in cooked chicken, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the garlic is golden and chicken is heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or sour cream on each.
- Add spoonfuls of the seasoned chicken, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with parsley or cilantro.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides.
- For crispy wraps, toast in a hot skillet until golden and cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, bake or air fry for a crispy finish.
Notes
- Feel free to customize with sliced jalapeños or sautéed vegetables for added flavor and nutrition.
- For healthier options, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
