½ tsp (1 g) paprika

-
1½ cups (170 g) shredded mozzarella or cheddar blend

2 tbsp (30 g) mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Make the Garlic Butter Chicken: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the Chicken: Stir in shredded chicken, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until well coated and heated through.
-
Assemble the Wraps: Lay out tortillas and spread mayonnaise if using. Add a scoop of garlic chicken and sprinkle generously with cheese.

Notes
Avoid overstuffing to make wrapping easier.
Use medium heat for even toasting without burning.
A mozzarella-cheddar combo gives the best melt and flavor.
Brush tortillas with garlic butter before toasting for extra crispiness.
Prep the filling in advance for a faster meal.
Reheat wraps in a skillet or air fryer for the best texture.
