Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 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. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, infusing the butter with garlic flavor.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet, then sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on top. Stir thoroughly and cook until the chicken is heated through and well 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, creamy mixture.
- Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Mix the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture until the chicken pieces are evenly coated and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each one. 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 until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy 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 and texture.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a blend of your favorite cheeses.
- To make this recipe spicier, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Wraps can be kept warm in a low oven if preparing multiple servings.
- For a crispier wrap, press down gently with a spatula while cooking each side in the skillet.
