Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup sour cream
4 large tortillas
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Stir and cook until heated through and well coated with the seasonings.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Mix the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture until thoroughly combined, ensuring the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5: Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining shredded cheese, then fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
Step 6: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
Step 7: Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for best taste.

Tips & Variations

Scale

Chicken & Seasoning

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp butter (melted)

Cheese Mixture

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup sour cream

Wraps & Garnish

4 large tortillas
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Sauté garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned to release the garlic’s aroma and flavor.
Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated with the seasonings.
Prepare cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy, ensuring the cheeses blend well.
Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Mix the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture thoroughly so every piece is coated with cheesy goodness.
Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each. Top each with the remaining shredded cheese, then fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
Cook wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts beautifully.
Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

You can use either mozzarella or cheddar cheese based on your preference or a blend for more flavor complexity.
If you prefer a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
These wraps freeze well. Assemble them but do not cook, wrap tightly, and freeze. Cook from frozen, adding a little extra time on the skillet.
For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
Serve with a side salad or salsa for a complete meal.
