Ingredients
The Garlic Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
The Chicken Filling
- 20 oz cooked chicken, cubed or shredded (approx. 4 cups)
- 1 1/4 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- Spice Blend: 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, paprika; 1/4 tsp each salt, pepper
Optional
- Prepared ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
Prepare Garlic Butter: Whisk together softened butter, parsley, garlic, seasonings, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
Season & Mix: Toss cooked chicken with spice blend. Stir in both shredded cheeses until well distributed.
Fill and Roll: Divide mixture among 4 tortillas. Fold in top and bottom edges, then the sides, and roll tightly.
Butter & Sear: Brush the outside of each wrap with garlic butter. Place in a hot non-stick skillet seam-side down.
Brown: Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted inside. Serve hot with ranch.
Notes
Tortilla Tip: Microwave stiff tortillas for 10 seconds under a damp paper towel to prevent cracking.
Seam-Side Down: Cooking seam-side down first acts as a ‘seal’ to keep the cheese inside.
Heat Control: Use medium heat to ensure the cheese melts before the garlic butter burns.
