Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Filling:

- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup cream cheese – softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 cloves garlic – minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & black pepper – to taste
For the Wraps:
- 4 large tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter – melted
- Fresh parsley – for garnish (optional)
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
1. Sauté the Garlic
Heat a pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pro Tip: Be careful not to burn the garlic—it turns bitter quickly!
2. Heat the Chicken
Add the cooked chicken to the pan. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and heat until warmed through.
Pro Tip: Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience!
3. Mix the Cheeses
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth.
Pro Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is soft for easier mixing.
4. Combine the Chicken & Cheese Mixtures
Remove the pan from heat. Add the cheese mixture to the chicken mixture, stirring until fully combined.
5. Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat. Divide the chicken mixture evenly across the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Pro Tip: Don’t overfill—this helps keep the wraps from bursting open while cooking!
6. Wrap & Seal
Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling and roll into a tight wrap.
7. Cook the Wraps
Heat a clean pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Pro Tip: Press gently with a spatula and cover with a lid for even browning and better melting.
