Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
4 large tortillas
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 2: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Heat until the chicken is warm and simmering.
Step 3: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Remove the skillet from heat and stir the cheese mixture into the chicken until fully combined.
Step 5: Lay the tortillas flat and divide the chicken mixture evenly down the center of each. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
Step 6: Fold the edges of the tortillas over the filling and roll up tightly to form wraps.
Step 7: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Press gently with a spatula for even browning and sealing.
Step 8: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use leftover rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience.
Be sure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with the sour cream and cheese.
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap.
Swap mozzarella for cheddar or a blend to customize the flavor.
Wraps can be toasted in a sandwich press for extra crispiness.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and the cheese melts again. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortillas crisp.
