Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook your chicken if it’s not already prepared. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then bake, sauté, or grill for about 20-25 minutes. Let it cool slightly before dicing.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once shimmering, add 3 cloves of minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until golden.
  3. Combine Chicken and Cheese: Add the diced cooked chicken into the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Toss for 1-2 minutes, then stir in 1 cup each of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out 4 large tortillas. Spoon an even amount of the cheesy chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
  5. Cook the Wraps: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Let Rest and Garnish: Remove the wraps and let them rest for 1-2 minutes on a cutting board. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the wraps.
  7. Serve Warm: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauces or sides.

Notes

Use leftover or pre-cooked chicken for quicker preparation. Watch the garlic to avoid bitterness. Ensure even filling distribution to prevent bursting. Allow wraps to crisp properly for a delightful texture.
