Chicken and Seasonings
- 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)
- Sauté garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, ensuring the garlic releases its aroma without burning.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet with garlic. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken with the seasonings and cook until the chicken is heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Add the seasoned chicken to the cheese mixture and mix until all pieces are evenly coated and the mixture is well combined.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps, securing the filling inside.
- Cook wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet to prevent them from unrolling. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the wraps warm to enjoy the full cheesy garlic flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or any cheese of your choice that melts well.
- For added freshness, serve with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
- Use leftover cooked chicken to make this recipe quick and easy.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red chili flakes or some chopped jalapeños.
- To keep wraps from becoming soggy, cook them just before serving.
