Ingredients

• Flour tortillas: Choose soft and pliable large tortillas for easy rolling and to avoid tearing
• Grated Parmesan: Adds a sharp salty note that deepens flavors Look for freshly grated if possible for richness
• Shredded cheddar: Brings creamy sharpness and bright color Block cheddar freshly shredded melts best
• Shredded mozzarella: Makes everything gooey and stringy Use whole milk mozzarella for richer melt
• Cooked chicken breast: Tender juicy chicken is the heart of the wrap Use roasted or lightly seasoned for best texture and taste
• Parsley flakes: Dried parsley brings a fresh herby lift Choose green fragrant flakes for best flavor
• Fresh garlic cloves: Nothing beats fresh pressed garlic for bold taste Firm plump cloves are best
• Unsalted butter: Melted butter carries the garlic flavor and crisps the wrap Real butter is key for the best results

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make Garlic Butter Mix:

In a small bowl stir together the melted butter chopped garlic and dried parsley until everything is evenly combined The mixture smells incredible as soon as the garlic hits the warm butter

Mix the Chicken and Cheese:

Combine the chopped or pulled chicken mozzarella cheddar and parmesan in a large bowl Use clean hands or a spoon to toss until the filling is well mixed slightly sticky and clings together This stickiness helps it stay inside the wraps during cooking

Fill and Roll the Wraps:

Set a tortilla flat on your workspace Spoon about 120 grams of the chicken cheese mixture into the middle Fold in the tortilla sides over the filling then roll up tightly burrito style so the edges are sealed Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling Press gently so they keep their shape

Butter and Toast the Wraps:

Brush the outside of each rolled wrap with the garlic butter mixture For an oven method arrange seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer Turn halfway through to ensure even browning Bake at 190 Celsius for 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp and golden For the skillet method heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium Once hot place wraps seam side down and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side brushing with more garlic butter as needed until the tortillas are toasty and fragrant

Serve and Dip:

Transfer wraps to a board and slice if you like Serve with your favorite dips Ranch garlic aioli or classic marinara all pair beautifully Enjoy while still warm and melty for the best bite

Parmesan is always my secret weapon here I remember my grandma sprinkling parmesan on everything from pastas to soups and I added extra one time and everyone raved about that batch Now it is our signature touch

Storage Tips

Wrap leftovers tightly in foil and store in the refrigerator They keep well for up to two days When ready to reheat pop them in a hot skillet for a couple minutes or crisp up in the oven so they stay crunchy Avoid microwaving when possible as tortillas can get soft

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap cooked rotisserie chicken with leftover turkey or shredded roast pork for variety For a meat free version try hearty sautéed mushrooms or black beans instead If cheddar or mozzarella are not available any melty cheese like fontina or havarti works Use gluten free wraps for a gluten conscious version

Serving Suggestions

These wraps are even better with dips Try them with ranch sauce spicy garlic yogurt or a chunky tomato salsa Pair with a bright salad or some salty potato chips for an easy meal They also make crowd pleasing appetizers just slice into bite sized rounds
