For Roasted Garlic
- 2 bulbs garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Creamy Roasted Garlic Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons roasted garlic (from above)
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon chicken powder
- Thyme & parsley (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
More
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 3 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar & mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Roast the garlic: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the top off each garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic in foil or place it in a mini cocotte. Roast for about 30 minutes until tender and golden. Allow it to cool.
- Prepare the garlic sauce: Once cooled, squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and mash them. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the roasted garlic, and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in chicken powder and add thyme and parsley if using. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine chicken: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken. Cook until heated through and well coated in the sauce.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a surface. Spoon a generous amount of the garlic chicken mixture into the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Wrap and cook: Tightly roll up the tortilla from the bottom, keeping the filling snug inside. Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, place the wrap seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use fresh roasted garlic for the best flavor.
- You can add other herbs like basil or oregano for variation.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with sautéed vegetables or tofu.
- Ensure the wrap is woven tightly to prevent spillage during cooking.
