Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 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

Assembly

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic cheese sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Combine chicken with sauce: Add the shredded or diced cooked chicken to the garlic cheese sauce. Stir well until the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the creamy mixture, creating a flavorful filling.
  3. Assemble wraps: Lay each large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, spreading it out lengthwise for easy rolling.
  4. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese generously over the chicken mixture on each tortilla, which will melt and add gooey richness to the wraps.
  5. Roll the tortillas: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly around the filling, ensuring the filling is secured inside the wrap without spilling out.
  6. Butter the wraps: Lightly brush the outside of each rolled wrap with the melted butter to help achieve a golden and crispy crust when cooked.
  7. Cook the wraps: Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has fully melted.
  8. Serve: Remove the cooked wraps from the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Substitute cooked chicken with rotisserie chicken for convenience and enhanced flavor.
  • Choose either mozzarella or cheddar cheese depending on your taste preference or what you have available at home.
  • For extra flavor, add finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the chicken mixture before assembling the wraps.
  • To add heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or mix in a dash of hot sauce into the filling.
  • These wraps can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness and warmth.
