Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Cooking

  • Olive oil for cooking (about 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Lay out the four large flour tortillas on a flat surface. If the tortillas are stiff, warm them for 15-20 seconds in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Evenly divide the cheesy chicken filling among the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each. Top with fresh spinach leaves, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley if using.
  4. Fold and Roll: Fold the two sides of each tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom edge up to secure the filling inside the wrap.
  5. Cook the Wraps: Heat about one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, and the mozzarella cheese inside melts.
  6. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Serve whole or slice them in half diagonally. Enjoy with optional sour cream or salsa on the side.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken or freshly cooked chicken shredded for convenience.
  • If tortillas are too stiff, warming them slightly prevents tearing during rolling.
  • Adjust garlic and seasoning levels to taste.
  • Optional additions include sautéed spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or use pepper jack cheese.
  • Can be paired beautifully with a side salad, tortilla chips, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Make chicken filling ahead and store in fridge for up to 2 days before assembly.
