Ingredients
Scale
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)
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, to release the garlic aroma without burning.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine 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 well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Fold the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated with the cheesy mixture.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the filling, then fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
- Cook wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
