Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup garlic aioli
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wrap Assembly
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Mix Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with garlic aioli. Season the mixture evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir until all the chicken is well coated with the creamy garlic aioli.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and evenly distribute a quarter of the chicken and aioli mixture onto the center. Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken on each tortilla to ensure melty cheesiness in every bite.
- Wrap: Fold in the sides of each tortilla snugly and then roll it tightly from one end to the other, encasing the filling completely to form a neat wrap that holds together during cooking.
- Grill: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the cheddar cheese inside is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience and flavor.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Substitute garlic aioli with plain mayonnaise mixed with minced garlic if aioli is unavailable.
- Wraps can be prepared ahead and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
- Serve with a side salad or fresh vegetables for a balanced meal.
