Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or mixing spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Measuring spoons
  • Tongs or spatula for flipping
  • Stove or hot plate

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter, for toasting
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 large tortillas
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and parsley if using, and stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and place a generous scoop of the filling in the center, spreading slightly but leaving space at the edges.
  • Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a wrap.
  • In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat, then place the wraps seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until crisp.
  • Remove, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas slightly before filling to make them easier to roll without tearing.
  • You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for extra flavor variety.
  • Add chopped jalapeños or crushed red pepper for a spicy kick.
