Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Wrap Assembly
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter (for pan toasting)
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds. This step infuses the oil with garlic flavor, providing a delicious base for the chicken.
- Warm and Season Chicken: Add the cooked shredded or diced chicken to the skillet along with onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir frequently for a few minutes until the chicken is warmed through and evenly seasoned. Then, remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy. This tangy sauce will add moisture and a burst of flavor to the wraps.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay each large flour tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the creamy garlic sauce over it. Evenly distribute the warm seasoned chicken mixture on top of the sauce, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the chicken.
- Roll Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap or burrito shape to encase all the filling securely.
- Pan Toast Wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until the wrap is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve warm. Optionally offer extra garlic or dipping sauce alongside for added flavor.
Notes
- Use leftover cooked chicken for convenience or cook chicken breasts ahead of time.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to reduce fat content and add more protein.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if desired to suit dietary preferences.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, replace chicken with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based chicken alternatives.
