Instructions

Follow these steps to create crispy, cheesy wraps that are packed with garlicky flavor.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or sour cream), and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried). Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly, spooning it across the center of each tortilla (about ¾ cup per wrap).
2. Add optional fillings like baby spinach, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or jalapeños on top of the chicken mixture for extra flavor and texture.
3. Fold the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a wrap. Ensure the seam is on the bottom to hold the wrap together.

Step 3: Brush with Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp melted butter with 1 tsp minced garlic.
2. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the outside of each wrap, covering both sides for maximum flavor and crispiness.

Step 4: Cook the Wraps

1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crisp, and the cheese inside is melted.
2. Use a spatula or tongs to flip carefully, ensuring the wraps stay intact.

Step 5: Serve

1. Transfer the wraps to a serving platter or plates. Slice in half diagonally for easier eating, if desired.
2. Serve warm with ranch dressing, garlic aioli, hot sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
3. Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a pop of color and flavor.
