Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Skillet or Grill Pan
- Spatula
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1/2 cup garlic aioli
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (feel free to mix with mozzarella for extra gooeyness)
- 4 large tortillas (flour tortillas are best for wrapping)
Instructions
Filling Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with garlic aioli. The aioli brings in that rich, garlicky punch while keeping the filling moist and flavorful. Add a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.Mix everything until the chicken is evenly coated and creamy. This mixture becomes the flavorful heart of our cheesy chicken wraps.
Assembling the Wraps
- Place the large flour tortillas on a clean cutting board or prep surface. Keep them flat for easy layering.
- Spoon about a quarter of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Spread it out slightly but keep it centered to avoid overstuffing the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken. Want it extra cheesy? Go for it—no judgment here!
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. You should have a neat, burrito-style wrap that holds everything in.
Grilling the Wraps
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. You want it hot enough to crisp the tortilla without burning it.
- Place the wraps seam-side down onto the skillet. This helps seal the wrap and keeps the filling from spilling out. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to get an even golden-brown crust.
- When both sides are golden and crispy, the cheese inside should be melted and gooey — the perfect texture for every bite.
- Transfer the wraps to a cutting board and let them rest for a minute. This keeps the filling from spilling out when you slice.
