Tender chicken, Alfredo sauce, and mozzarella wrapped in warm tortillas for a handheld comfort food meal.

# Components:

→ Chicken Preparation

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Alfredo Sauce Base

07 - 1 cup heavy cream
08 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 - 1 clove garlic, minced
11 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

→ Assembly Fixings

12 - 4 large flour tortillas
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
15 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through and fragrant. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 - Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg (if using). Continue stirring for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
04 - Add the prepared chicken mixture to the Alfredo sauce and stir gently to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
05 - Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in a microwave until they become pliable and easy to roll.
06 - Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly onto the center of each warmed tortilla. Top the mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese and a portion of fresh baby spinach leaves.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla towards the center, and then tightly roll up from the bottom to form a compact wrap.
08 - For an enhanced texture and melted cheese, place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the mozzarella is fully melted.
09 - Slice the wraps in half. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

  • When reheating leftovers, use a skillet or toaster oven rather than a microwave to maintain the crispy exterior texture that makes these wraps so satisfying.
  • For the ultimate flavor boost, try marinating your chicken in Italian herbs and garlic before cooking, even if using rotisserie chicken. This extra step adds tremendous depth to the final dish that will have everyone asking for your secret.
