Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie, poached, or leftover roast)
  • 1/2 cup garlic aioli (store-bought or homemade, or substitute with mayonnaise + 1–2 tsp minced garlic)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (sharp or mild, Monterey Jack or pepper jack also work)
  • 4 large tortillas (flour or use whole-wheat/gluten-free if needed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm the chicken: Place the shredded chicken in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30–45 seconds, or warm in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the warm chicken, garlic aioli, and shredded cheddar. Season with salt and pepper and stir until evenly coated.
  3. Prepare tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about one-quarter of the filling down the center, leaving room at the edges.
  4. Fold and seal: Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a snug wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Melt and crisp (optional): Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook 1–2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve: Slice each wrap in half, serve warm, and enjoy.

Notes

Store assembled wraps (unheated) or leftover filling in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat wrapped halves in a skillet or oven to maintain texture. Freezing: Fully assembled wraps can be frozen individually for up to 3 months.
