Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
3 cloves garlic (minced)

¼ cup sour cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning

4 large tortillas
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and heat the mixture through, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Make the Cheese Mixture:

In a separate bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth.

3. Assemble the Wraps:

Remove the chicken from heat and mix it with the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Lay out the tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly in the center of each one. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the filling.
Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form wraps.

4. Toast the Wraps:

Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Add Veggies: For an extra boost of nutrition, add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the filling.
Try Different Cheeses: Switch up the flavors by using Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a blend of cheeses.
For a Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the chicken mixture for extra heat.
Crispy Wraps: If you prefer extra crispy wraps, brush the outside with a bit of melted butter before toasting them in the skillet.
Make Ahead: These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Simply reheat in a skillet to keep them crispy before serving.
