Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie, poached, or leftovers)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella, low-moisture cheddar for less grease)
  • 4 large tortillas (flour tortillas work best for folding)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional - parsley, cilantro, or chives)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Warm the oil until it shimmers.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle the garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  4. Lay each tortilla flat and divide the chicken mixture down the center of each in a line.
  5. Sprinkle one quarter of the shredded cheese over the chicken on each tortilla.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly and press the seam to seal.
Cooking
  1. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium heat until golden and the cheese is melted. Adjust the heat if the tortilla browns too quickly.
  2. Slice the wraps on the diagonal. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For substitutions, swap shredded chicken for rotisserie to save time, or mix mozzarella with pepper jack for a milder melt with a touch of heat. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce leaves.
