Scale
Proteins and Cheeses:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (57 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (57 g) cream cheese, softened
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Other Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (8 g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Gently warm butter in a skillet, releasing the aromatic essence of minced garlic until its fragrance fills the kitchen.
- Create a luxurious filling by blending shredded chicken with a medley of mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese, enriched with sour cream and a harmonious blend of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Carefully distribute the creamy chicken mixture across soft tortillas, positioning it strategically in the center for optimal wrapping.
- Tenderly fold the tortilla edges inward, crafting a tight, secure wrap that encapsulates the decadent filling.
- Drizzle olive oil into a heated skillet, allowing each wrap to sizzle seam-side down, transforming into a golden, crispy exterior for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Rotate the wrap with precision, ensuring an even, crisp finish on all sides that delivers a satisfying crunch.
- Garnish with a delicate sprinkle of fresh parsley, elevating the visual appeal and adding a subtle herbaceous note.
- Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by an array of complementary dipping sauces to enhance the culinary experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, easier mixing and better blending with other ingredients.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like pepper jack or gouda for unique flavor profiles.
- Prevent soggy wraps by patting chicken dry before shredding to remove excess moisture.
- Make gluten-free by substituting regular tortillas with large lettuce leaves or gluten-free wraps for a lighter alternative.
