Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling

2 cups cooked chicken Shredded or diced, leftover or rotisserie
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For that stretchy, gooey melt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds sharp, rich flavor
4 cloves garlic Minced fresh for bold flavor
¼ cup mayonnaise Adds creaminess
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream Keeps filling light and tangy
1 teaspoon garlic powder Boosts the garlic flavor
1 teaspoon onion powder Adds savory depth
½ teaspoon paprika For mild smokiness
½ teaspoon dried oregano Adds an herby touch
¼ teaspoon salt To taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground
¼ teaspoon hot sauce Optional, for a kic

For Assembly

4 large flour tortillas 10-inch size
2 tablespoons butter Melted, for brushing
additional shredded cheese Optional, for topping

For Serving

sour cream For dipping
salsa Adds brightness
fresh cilantro For garnish
sliced jalapeños Optional, for spice

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the [chicken], [mozzarella], [cheddar], [garlic], [mayonnaise], [Greek yogurt], and seasonings.
Lay a [flour tortilla] on a flat surface and spoon about ½ cup of the chicken mixture into the center. Fold the sides, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
Brush the outside of each wrap with melted [butter]. Heat a [skillet] over medium heat and cook wraps seam-side down for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Remove wraps from the skillet and let them cool for 2 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve with [sour cream], [salsa], and a sprinkle of [cilantro].

Notes

For a keto-friendly version, use low-carb tortillas or large lettuce leaves instead.
Make ahead: Prep the filling up to 2 days in advance and assemble wraps when ready to cook.
Kid tip: Let your child sprinkle the cheese or brush the wraps with butter, it makes them feel proud and connected.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or skillet for crispiness.
These pair beautifully with a side of creamy tomato pasta or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
