Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
2. Assemble the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat and spoon the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Spread the filling evenly, leaving about an inch around the edges to prevent overflow. Fold the tortilla sides over the filling, then roll up the tortilla into a wrap.
3. Toast the Wraps
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter if desired for a golden, crispy exterior. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted, and the wrap is golden brown.
4. Serve and Enjoy!
Once toasted, slice the wraps in half if desired and serve warm. Enjoy these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps as they are, or pair them with a side salad or dipping sauce.
Tips for Success
- Shred the Cheese Fresh: For the best melting consistency, shred the mozzarella fresh instead of using pre-shredded cheese, which can contain additives.
- Use Leftover Chicken: This recipe is perfect for repurposing leftover grilled or roasted chicken, saving you time and reducing waste.
- Toast for Extra Flavor: Toasting the wraps in butter enhances the garlic flavor and gives a lovely golden crust to the tortillas.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
To store leftover wraps, allow them to cool to room temperature, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For reheating, place the wraps in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or in a microwave for about 30 seconds, though the tortilla may not stay as crisp in the microwave.
Pairing Suggestions
These wraps are versatile and pair well with a variety of sides and beverages:
- Sides: Serve with a fresh salad, coleslaw, or a bowl of tomato soup.
- Beverages: A cold lemonade, iced tea, or even a glass of white wine complements the flavors nicely.
