Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 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, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn, which would create a bitter taste.
- Heat Chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Season it with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices and heat through thoroughly.
- Mix Cheeses: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth and fully blended to create a creamy cheese mixture.
- Combine Chicken and Cheese Mixtures: Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the warm chicken into the cheese mixture and stir thoroughly to combine into a creamy and flavorful filling.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out the tortillas and evenly divide the chicken and cheese filling down the center of each. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the filling. Fold the sides over and roll tightly into wraps.
- Cook Wraps: Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down on the pan. Cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Press gently with a spatula to seal the wraps and ensure even browning.
Notes
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Pressing the wraps gently while cooking helps seal them and ensures even browning.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds a bright, fresh flavor but is optional.
- Avoid burning the garlic in the sauté step to prevent bitterness.
