Ingredients
Scale
For the wraps:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ½ avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the garlic cream sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup heavy cream (or half and half)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…› teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Make the garlic cream sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for another minute to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and continue whisking until smooth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using). Cook for another minute, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Warm tortillas: Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable to make wrapping easier.
- Warm the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the cooked chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, warmed chicken, cheese, and avocado slices if using. Drizzle the warm garlic cream sauce over the filling.
- Fold and serve: Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold the sides in and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can use grilled, rotisserie, or leftover chicken for convenience.
- Add cooked bacon for extra flavor or swap lettuce for spinach for a different twist.
- The garlic cream sauce also works great as a dip or pasta sauce.
