Ingredients

For the Wraps

• 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
• 500g (1 lb) boneless chicken breast, cut into small bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil, for cooking the chicken

Chicken Seasoning

• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
• ½ tsp minced garlic
• ½ tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay a flour tortilla flat. Place a generous handful of the cooked chicken pieces in the center. Sprinkle a generous amount of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken.

Step 4: Fold and Roll

Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom toward the top to form a secure rectangle or burrito shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 5: Toast Until Crispy

Heat a clean non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Lightly brush the tops with the prepared garlic butter.

Toast for 2–3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are beautifully golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside is completely melted and gooey.

Step 6: Serve

Cut the wraps in half while they are still warm and enjoy the delicious melted cheese pull.

Recipe Tips

• Cut the chicken into small, evenly sized pieces so it cooks quickly and evenly.
• Do not overfill the tortillas, as this can make them difficult to roll securely.
• Place the wraps seam-side down first to help seal them while toasting.
• Keep the heat at medium so the tortilla becomes crispy without burning before the cheese melts.
• Brush the wraps lightly with garlic butter for extra flavor and a beautiful golden crust.

Variations

You can customize these wraps with:

• Extra mozzarella for an even cheesier filling.
• Spicy chili flakes or cayenne pepper for some heat.
• Fresh green onions or additional parsley.
• Your favorite cooked vegetables added to the chicken filling.
• A dipping sauce such as ranch, garlic sauce, or spicy mayo.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the wraps hot and crispy, cut in half to show off the melted cheese. They pair perfectly with a creamy dipping sauce, fresh salad, or crispy potatoes.

Storage

Refrigerator

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days.

Reheating

Reheat the wraps in a skillet over medium-low heat until warmed through and crispy again. An air fryer can also be used to restore their crisp texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes. Mozzarella and cheddar provide a great combination of stretch and flavor, but you can substitute other good-melting cheeses according to your preference.

How do I keep the wraps from opening?

Fold the sides tightly over the filling and roll the tortilla firmly from the bottom. Toasting the wrap seam-side down first also helps seal it.

Can I make these wraps spicy?

Yes. Add chili flakes, cayenne pepper, or your favorite hot sauce to the chicken seasoning or serve the wraps with a spicy dipping sauce.
