How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sour cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large tortillas
2 tbsp butter, melted
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded or diced cooked chicken to the garlic cheese sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture.
Lay out each large tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture among the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese generously over the chicken mixture on each tortilla.
Carefully fold and roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a wrap.
Brush the outside of each wrap lightly with the melted butter, which will help achieve a golden crust when cooked.
Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted.
Remove the wraps from the pan and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

How to Serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are best served warm right off the skillet. You can cut them in half for easier eating. Pair them with a side salad, some salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce to enhance the meal.

How to Store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or use a microwave, though they will not be as crispy.
