Now comes the fun part! Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese. I usually use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella for that perfect blend of sharpness and creaminess. As the cheese begins to melt, it creates a beautiful and cheesy filling. Lay out your tortillas and scoop a generous portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto each. Roll them tightly, folding in the edges to secure the filling inside.
Once you have your wraps assembled, return the skillet to the heat and place the wraps seam-side down. Toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. The sound of the sizzling tortillas always makes me smile! The final step is to remove them from the skillet, slice them in half, and you’re ready to serve.
Pro Tips for Best Results
I tested this recipe three ways to get the chicken just right. The first was simply boiling the chicken, which left it a bit bland. I found that using leftover roasted chicken adds a burst of flavor that truly elevates the dish. I also experimented with different cheeses; trust me, mixing a couple gives fantastic results!
If you’re short on time, using a rotisserie chicken is a game changer. Just shred the chicken, and you can skip the cooking step altogether! This made my preparation time drop, letting me enjoy more time with friends and less in the kitchen.
Lastly, never underestimate the power of seasoning. I always taste as I go. If you feel something’s missing, don’t hesitate to adjust the seasoning until it suits your palate. A pinch of extra salt or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs can make all the difference!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One mistake I’ve made is overfilling the wraps, which tends to make rolling them tricky. I’ve found that taking a more modest scoop keeps everything together perfectly and makes for easier handling. No one wants their delicious mixture spilling out while they try to take a bite! (See the next page below to continue…)
