- 1
Shred the cooked chicken by hand or using two forks, pulling the fibers lengthwise. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano. Set aside.
- 2
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread 1.5 tablespoons of tomato sauce, leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edge to make folding easier.
- 3
Distribute one-quarter of the shredded chicken evenly on the bottom half of the wrap, then add the corn and sliced green olives.
- 4
Generously sprinkle 1.5 to 2 oz of shredded cheese over the filling, ensuring you cover the entire surface for an optimal melted result.
- 5
Fold the side edges of the wrap inward, then roll firmly from the bottom to the top to form a tight cylinder. Press lightly to seal. Repeat for the other 3 wraps.
- 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down and brown for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and the cheese is well melted. Alternatively, place them in an oven preheated to 390°F for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through.
- 7
Once out of the pan or oven, immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, snipped chives, oregano, and a few black olives. Serve immediately, cut in half diagonally to reveal the gooey filling.
💡 Chef's Tip
For even more flavorful chicken, marinate it for 30 minutes with a teaspoon of smoked paprika, a crushed garlic clove, and a drizzle of olive oil before cooking. If using store-bought rotisserie chicken, warm it slightly in a pan with these spices to enhance the aromas. The secret to a crispy wrap: a hot pan and light pressure with a spatula during cooking.
