Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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 pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Garlic: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
  2. Prepare Chicken Filling: Add cooked chicken to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and heat through.
  3. Mix Creamy Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Remove chicken from heat and combine it with the cheese mixture until fully blended.
  4. Assemble Wraps: Lay out tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly in the center of each. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over the filling.
  5. Wrap Tortillas: Fold the tortillas into wraps, tucking in the sides as you roll them.
  6. Cook Wraps: Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook wraps for 2–3 minutes per side, or until tortillas are golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitutions: Swap mozzarella/cheddar for feta or goat cheese. Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt or opt for low-fat cream cheese for a lighter option.
  • Dietary Modifications: Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version or plant-based proteins like tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Fill tortillas and cook when ready to serve.
  • Storing and Reheating: Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness.
