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 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.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the chicken. Stir well and cook until the chicken is heated through and evenly coated in the seasoning.
- Prepare cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Add the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture and mix thoroughly so every piece is coated with the cheesy blend.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly divide the cheesy chicken mixture among them. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the mixture, then fold and roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap.
- Cook wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side 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 flavor experience.
Notes
- You can use shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, or a combination of both depending on your preference.
- Ensure the garlic is not browned to avoid bitterness.
- Use fresh cooked chicken or leftover chicken to save time.
- For extra crispiness, brush the tortillas with a little melted butter before cooking.
- Serve with a side of salsa or a green salad for a complete meal.
