Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced; rotisserie chicken works great!)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 large flour tortillas
3 tbsp butter (melted)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.
Brush with Butter:
Brush the melted butter over the top and bottom of each wrap. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when cooking.
Cook the Wraps:
Option 1: Skillet
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Option 2: Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the wraps on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Method for Storing
Ingredients:
Prepared cheesy garlic chicken wraps
Storage Steps:
Cool Down:
Allow the wraps to cool completely at room temperature. This prevents condensation, which can lead to sogginess.
Wrap Individually:
Wrap each cheesy garlic chicken wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to keep them fresh and prevents them from drying out.
Use Airtight Containers:
Place the individually wrapped wraps in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn.
Label and Date:
If using a container or bag, label it with the date. This helps you track how long they’ve been stored.
Choose Storage Location:
Refrigerate: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freeze: For longer storage, place the container in the freezer. Cheesy garlic chicken wraps can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
Reheating Instructions:
From Refrigerator:
Remove the wrap from the fridge and unwrap it. Microwave on a microwave-safe plate for about 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
From Freezer:
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
Tips for Best Results:
Avoid Sogginess: If you used any sauces, consider storing them separately to keep the wraps from becoming soggy.
Add Fresh Ingredients: If possible, add fresh toppings (like lettuce or tomatoes) after reheating to maintain their crunch.
