Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan until evenly mixed. -
Assemble the Wraps
Place a tortilla on your work surface. Add about 120g of the filling in the center. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Repeat with remaining tortillas. -
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley. -
Pan-Fry for Crispiness
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush wraps generously with garlic butter and place seam-side down. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. -
Bake Until Perfect
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Transfer wraps to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining garlic butter and bake 10–12 minutes, flipping once, until crispy and fully heated through. -
Serve Hot
Enjoy immediately while the cheese is still melty. Serve with ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli for dipping.
