- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, or 1 tsp dried
Wrap and Finishing

- 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic for brushing
Optional Add-ins

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise or sour cream, and parsley. Mix well until creamy and blended. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Lay tortillas flat. Divide the filling evenly across the center. Add optional veggies if using.
- Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap with the garlic butter mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.
- Let wraps rest for one minute before slicing and serving. The filling will be hot and melty.
Notes
Do not overfill the wraps or they may burst while cooking. Taste the filling before assembling and adjust seasoning if needed. Medium heat works best for even cooking and melting. Leftover wraps reheat well in a skillet or air fryer. To freeze, wrap tightly and store for up to three months.
