Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian herbs
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional additions: lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, or ranch dressing

Instructions

Cook Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook in a skillet with 1 tbsp butter over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes per side. Let rest and shred.
Prepare Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt remaining 1 tbsp butter. Add minced garlic and sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Toss shredded chicken in garlic butter until evenly coated.
Assemble Wraps: Lay tortillas flat. Place a portion of garlic chicken in the center, sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Add optional veggies if desired.
Fold and Toast: Fold sides of the tortilla inwards and roll tightly. Toast in skillet or air fryer at 370°F (185°C) for 3–5 minutes until tortilla is golden and cheese melts.
Serve: Slice in half, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm. Optionally, pair with dipping sauce like ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Cheese Choice: Mozzarella melts beautifully, but cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack work for variation.
Even Cooking: Don’t overload wraps; it ensures even melting and prevents sogginess.
Make Ahead: Prepare chicken in advance for 10–15 minute assembly and cooking.
Extra Flavor: Add sautéed onions, peppers, or mushrooms for a veggie boost.
Crispy Wraps: Lightly butter the outside before toasting to enhance crispiness.

Variations

Buffalo Chicken Wrap: Toss chicken with buffalo sauce before adding cheese.
Mediterranean Wrap: Add feta cheese, olives, cucumber, and tzatziki sauce.
BBQ Chicken Wrap: Mix chicken with BBQ sauce, add cheddar and red onions.
Low-Carb Version: Use lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas instead of flour tortillas.

Serving Suggestions
