Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Butter Spread:

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie works great)

  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or blend)

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional)

  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper (optional)

  • ¼ cup sliced green onions

For Serving:

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup salsa or pico de gallo

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare Garlic Butter:
    In a small bowl, mix butter, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

  • Assemble Wraps:
    Lay out tortillas. Spread garlic butter evenly. Layer chicken, cheese, spinach, bell pepper, and green onions on half of each tortilla. Fold over to make a half-moon shape.

  • Cook Wraps:
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook each wrap 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and cheese is melted. Keep warm while cooking remaining wraps.

  • Serve:
    Slice wraps in half and serve warm with sour cream, salsa, avocado, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Make garlic butter up to 3 days in advance.

  • Use any cooked meat or plant-based alternative for variations.

  • For a crispier wrap, bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

  • Freeze uncooked assembled wraps for up to 3 months.
