Cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Shredded cheddar cheese
Minced garlic
Cream cheese
Salt and pepper
Chopped parsley (optional)
Flour tortillas
Butter or olive oil for toasting

Directions

In a bowl, I mix the shredded chicken, both cheeses, cream cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley until well combined.
I lay out a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center.
I fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a burrito.
I heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or olive oil.
I place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
I remove the wraps from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and slice in half to serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 wraps and serves 2 to 4 people depending on appetite. Prep time is around 10 minutes, and cook time is another 10 minutes, so I can have everything ready in just 20 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I like to add crispy bacon bits or cooked spinach for extra flavor. Swapping mozzarella for pepper jack gives a spicy kick. I’ve also tried it with leftover grilled chicken, and it adds a smoky flavor that I love. For a lower-carb version, I use low-carb tortillas or even lettuce wraps.

storage/reheating

I store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I either pop them into a skillet for a few minutes until they’re crispy again or microwave them for about a minute if I’m in a hurry. They also freeze well—I wrap them tightly in foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag. When I’m ready to eat, I reheat them straight from the freezer in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.

FAQs

How can I make this wrap spicier?

I like to add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture for a little heat.

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes, using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor. I just make sure to shred it well before mixing.

What kind of cheese works best?

I use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for melty and rich flavor, but any good melting cheese like Monterey Jack or provolone works great too.

Are these wraps freezer-friendly?

Definitely. I wrap them in foil and store them in freezer bags. When I want one, I reheat it in the oven without thawing.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare them a day in advance and keep them wrapped in the fridge. Then I just toast them when ready to serve.
