Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasonings
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
For the Wraps
  • 20 oz. cooked chicken cubed or shredded, approximately 4 cups
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1.25 cups shredded Cabot Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • optional prepared ranch dressing for dipping

Equipment

  • Small bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large non-stick skillet or grill pan

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all garlic butter ingredients. Set the bowl aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the ingredients until they are combined.
  3. Add the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses to the chicken mixture. Stir until the cheeses are mixed in well.
  4. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly into the centers of each of the 4 tortillas.
  5. Take one tortilla. Fold in the top and bottom edges, then fold in the sides. Roll the tortilla tightly. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
  6. Brush the prepared garlic butter evenly on the outside surface of each wrap.
  7. Place a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet.
  8. Cook the wraps for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown.
  9. Serve the wraps hot with ranch dressing for dipping.
