Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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, divided
- ¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup sour cream
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Sauté garlic: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, releasing the rich garlic aroma.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, then sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir 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 you achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Mix the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture thoroughly, ensuring every piece is well coated with cheesy goodness.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas and evenly divide the chicken and cheese mixture onto each one. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top, then fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
- Cook wraps: 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 has melted nicely.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm to enjoy the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to substitute mozzarella with your preferred cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce to the cheese mixture.
- To keep wraps crispy, serve immediately after cooking.
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and assemble just before cooking.
