Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
¼ cup sour cream
4 large tortillas
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions:

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Toss in the cooked chicken, sprinkle on the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the chicken is heated through and well coated with the seasonings.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Mix the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture until all the chicken pieces are coated in cheesy goodness.
Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining shredded cheese, then fold and roll the tortillas tightly into wraps.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for best taste.
