Next, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Take one tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the cheesy chicken filling onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas until you’ve used all the filling.
Once all your wraps are rolled, place them seam-side down in the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. As they cook, my kitchen fills with that mouthwatering aroma of melted cheese and garlic sizzling away, making it hard to wait to dig in.
When the wraps are done, I love to slice them in half diagonally, showcasing that gooey cheese and chicken filling inside. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Trust me; these wraps not only taste amazing, but they also look super inviting on the plate!
Pro Tips for Best Results
I tested this recipe several ways before landing on my favorite method. For an extra cheesy bite, I like to sprinkle some extra mozzarella on top of the wraps just before flipping them in the skillet. This creates a lovely, crispy cheese crust that adds a delightful texture.
Another personal tip is to really pay attention to the heat of your skillet. If it’s too hot, you might end up with a burned shell and filling that’s not warm enough. A medium heat gives that perfect balance.
Lastly, I always recommend letting the wraps cool for just a minute after taking them off the heat. It might be tempting to bite in right away, but this allows the cheese to set a little bit, so it doesn’t ooze out everywhere when you cut into it!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One mistake I made the first time I tried these wraps was overfilling them. I got so excited about the cheesy filling that I forgot there needs to be enough space to roll them! This can lead to a messy kitchen and a not-so-pretty presentation. I recommend starting with a smaller amount of filling and adding more as you figure out how much you can fit.
