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 then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, releasing its aroma and flavor into the butter.
- Add chicken and seasonings: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook until the chicken is heated through and fully coated with the flavorful seasonings.
- Prepare cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy to create a luscious cheese sauce.
- Combine chicken and cheese mixtures: Add the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture, folding it together until the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy cheesy blend.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the cheesy chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top each with the remaining shredded cheese, then fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
- Cook wraps: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or 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 cheese types according to preference—Monterey Jack or pepper jack add great flavor.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- Warming the tortillas slightly before assembling can prevent cracking when rolling.
- These wraps can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days, and reheated in a skillet or oven.
