Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)

2 tablespoons chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

2 tablespoons butter (for pan-toasting)

Directions

In a skillet over medium heat, I add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.

I stir in the cooked chicken, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, heating everything through for 2–3 minutes.

I remove the skillet from heat and mix in the cream cheese and chopped parsley until everything’s creamy and well combined.

Next I lay out the tortillas and spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each.

Then, I top each with shredded mozzarella and roll them up tightly like burritos.

In a clean skillet or griddle, I melt butter over medium heat and toast the wraps seam-side down until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.

I slice them in half, sprinkle with extra parsley, and serve them hot.

Variations

I sometimes use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.

For a spicy kick, I add red pepper flakes or swap in pepper jack cheese.

I like switching the mozzarella for cheddar or provolone when I want a sharper taste.

Adding spinach or sautéed mushrooms turns this into a more veggie-packed wrap.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I toast them in a skillet over medium heat until warm and crispy again. They also reheat well in a toaster oven or air fryer. I avoid microwaving to keep the wrap from getting soggy.

FAQs

How can I make this recipe ahead of time?

I prepare the filling and keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days. When ready, I assemble and toast the wraps fresh for the best texture.

Can I freeze these chicken wraps?

Yes, I wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then freeze. I reheat straight from frozen in a skillet or oven.

What type of tortillas work best?

I use large flour tortillas because they hold up well and crisp nicely. Whole wheat or low-carb versions work too.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, I use dairy-free mozzarella and cream cheese alternatives. The results are still creamy and satisfying.

What sides go well with these wraps?

I like serving them with a simple salad, roasted veggies, or even some sweet potato fries for a full meal.
