Ingredients for Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Wraps with Chicken
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Nonstick cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil
How to Make Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Wraps with Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesy Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in chopped parsley, red pepper flakes (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Brush each tortilla with the garlic butter mixture, reserving a little for later. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, mozzarella, and cheddar over each tortilla.
Step 3: Roll and Sear the Wraps
Tightly roll up each tortilla burrito-style—fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up. Brush the outside of each wrap with the remaining garlic butter.
Step 4: Toast to Ooey-Gooey Perfection
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and coat lightly with nonstick spray or olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the outside is golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted. Cut in half, garnish with extra parsley, and serve hot!
