Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup garlic aioli
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with garlic aioli, shredded cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat each tortilla briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla. Spread the mixture evenly, leaving some space around the edges for folding.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up tightly to enclose the filling completely.
- Melt the Cheese (Optional): For an extra melty texture, place the wrapped tortillas seam side down on a heated skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the cheese inside melts and the wrap is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired, and serve warm with a side of chips, salad, or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute garlic aioli with mayonnaise mixed with minced garlic if unavailable.
- Add fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado for extra crunch and nutrition.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to adjust for dietary preferences.
