Ingredients
For the Wrap:
1 large flour tortilla
1 cup cooked chicken (grilled or shredded)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons spicy mayo or hot sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Add-Ins:
¼ cup diced jalapeños for extra heat
¼ cup sautéed onions and bell peppers for added flavor
¼ cup fresh lettuce or sliced avocado for a fresh crunch
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and spicy mayo or hot sauce until well combined.
2. Assemble the Wrap
Lay the flour tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Spread the spicy chicken mixture over the cheese.
3. Fold and Cook
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil, then place the wrap seam-side down in the pan.
4. Toast Until Crispy
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5. Slice and Serve
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve with extra spicy mayo, salsa, or ranch dressing.
Tips for the Best Wrap
Use a large tortilla to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Press the wrap gently with a spatula while toasting for an even crisp.
For extra heat, add hot sauce, crushed red pepper, or jalapeños.
For a lower-carb option, use a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla.
Variations to Try
Buffalo Chicken Wrap – Toss the chicken in buffalo sauce and add ranch dressing.
BBQ Chicken Wrap – Swap the hot sauce for BBQ sauce and add caramelized onions.
Tex-Mex Chicken Wrap – Add black beans, corn, and guacamole for a Southwestern twist.
Vegan Option – Replace the chicken with grilled tofu or jackfruit and use dairy-free cheese.
