Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Chicken:

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chicken broth or water (optional, to keep chicken juicy)

For the Wraps:

4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)
1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

For Cooking (Optional):

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for crisping the wraps)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Chicken

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add shredded chicken, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
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

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

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

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

Step 4: Cook the Wraps (Optional for Crispiness)

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

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

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