Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Chicken

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add shredded chicken, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  3. Pour in a little chicken broth or water if needed, to keep the chicken moist. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesy Filling

  1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well combined.
  2. Add the prepared garlic chicken to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay out a tortilla and spread an even layer of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture onto the center.
  2. Fold in the sides, then roll it tightly like a burrito.
  3. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 4: Cook the Wraps (Optional for Crispiness)

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter or drizzle olive oil.
  2. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Slice the wraps in half and serve warm.
  2. Pair with a side of ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli for dipping.
