Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1/2 cup garlic aioli
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 large tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your wraps are heated through and the cheese is perfectly melted by the time they’re done.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and garlic aioli. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated, which adds flavor and moisture. You want a creamy consistency without excess liquid, so adjust the aioli as needed.
- Next, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until you have a well-combined filling that looks cheesy and inviting.
- Lay out your large tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture among the tortillas, leaving some space at the edges to prevent overflow when you roll them.
- Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Ensure they are snug to keep the filling from spilling out while cooking.
- Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet. If desired, you can brush the tops with a bit of olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on them — you want the edges to turn golden without burning.
- Once baked, remove the wraps from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two. This resting time helps the filling set slightly, making them easier to slice.
- Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve warm. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!

Keywords: To avoid overfilling your wraps, aim for about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of filling per tortilla. Using a non-stick baking sheet or lining it with parchment paper can prevent sticking. For a more intense garlic flavor, add garlic powder or fresh minced garlic to the chicken mixture.
