Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded leftover, roasted, or store-bought rotisserie
  • 1/2 cup garlic aioli store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded sharp or mild to taste
  • 4 large tortillas flour tortillas work best for rolling
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Shred your cooked chicken with forks or by pulsing briefly in a food processor.
  2. In a bowl, stir the shredded chicken with the garlic aioli until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust.
  3. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken mixture into four portions and place each portion down the center of a tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheddar over the chicken on each tortilla.
  5. Fold the short sides of the tortilla in toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a light smear of oil or a nonstick spray.
  2. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until each side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  3. Transfer to a cutting board, slice the wraps in half on the diagonal, and serve warm.
