Ingredients
Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken works great)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar for flavor or mozzarella for extra stretch)
- ¼ cup garlic, minced (about 3–4 cloves, adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (Greek yogurt works for a lighter option)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- ½ cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
Instructions
- Make the filling
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, minced garlic, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated. - Assemble the wraps
Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon one-quarter of the chicken mixture down the center.
Sprinkle with a small handful of shredded lettuce. - Roll tightly
Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas. - Cook until golden
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the wrap seam-side down first to seal. Press gently with a spatula.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. - Rest & serve
Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half diagonally. Serve warm.
Additional Notes
