Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Wrap and Cooking
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
- Optional: sliced tomatoes or avocado for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the chicken and cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Place fresh spinach or lettuce on top of the filling, adding optional tomato or avocado slices if desired.
- Roll the wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward to contain the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other, creating a secure wrap that holds the mixture inside.
- Cook the wraps: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning carefully until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve: Remove the cooked wraps from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice each wrap in half if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor.
- For a low-carb option, substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
- These wraps can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To make vegetarian, use plant-based chicken alternative.
