Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken work great
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella; use a mix for flavor and stretch
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic fresh is best; jarred can work in a pinch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for richer flavor
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps use large flour tortillas for pliability
Seasoning and Optional Ingredients
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped herbs parsley or cilantro for brightness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir until heated through, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts and coats the chicken.
  5. Lay the tortillas flat and divide the cheesy chicken evenly among them.
  6. Tuck the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap.
  7. If you like a crispy shell, return the skillet to medium-low and toast each wrap for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and sealed. Press gently with a spatula for even contact.
  8. Serve warm and sprinkle with chopped herbs if using.

Notes

Keep garlic light: cook just until fragrant. Overcooked garlic turns bitter. Use two kinds of cheese for best texture.
