Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 large tortillas
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Saute Garlic: Heat a pan over moderate heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and aromatic. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.
  2. Heat Chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet along with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and heat until simmering to warm through.
  3. Mix Cheeses: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Chicken and Cheese Mixtures: Remove the skillet from heat and mix the chicken mixture with the creamy cheese mixture until fully combined.
  5. Assemble Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a surface. Divide the chicken and cheese mixture evenly along the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Fold the edges of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly into wraps.
  6. Cook Wraps: Heat a clean pan or skillet over moderate heat. Place the wraps seam-side up into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Gently press with a spatula to ensure even browning and sealing of the wraps.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken for added flavor and convenience.
  • Make sure cream cheese is softened to facilitate easy mixing.
  • Do not burn garlic to avoid bitterness; sauté gently.
  • Apply gentle pressure while cooking the wraps to ensure they brown evenly and hold together.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a fresh, herbal touch if desired.
