Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover roast) Rotisserie chicken works best for speed and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup garlic aioli (store-bought or homemade) Can swap for mayonnaise plus minced garlic or garlic paste.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Cheddar provides sharpness; Monterey Jack or mozzarella can be used.
  • 4 large tortillas Large flour tortillas are easiest to roll; use certified gluten-free for a gluten-free option.
  • to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper Adjust to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Taste the shredded chicken and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken and garlic aioli. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and creamy.
  3. Warm each tortilla: either heat in a dry skillet over medium for 10–15 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 10 seconds.
Assembly
  1. Lay a warmed tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about one-fourth of the chicken mixture down the center, leaving room at the edges.
  2. Sprinkle roughly 1/4 cup shredded cheddar over the chicken.
  3. Fold the short sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Cooking
  1. For a crisp exterior, place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
  2. Slice in half and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with a simple side salad, tortilla chips, or a bowl of tomato soup for dipping. Optional dips: extra garlic aioli, ranch, salsa verde, or a squeeze of lime. To store, put leftover wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped portions for up to 2 months.
