How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• Optional: Baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes

Equipments Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Skillet
• Small bowl for butter mixture
• Flat surface for assembling wraps

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until creamy and cohesive.
2. Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon 1/4 of the filling into the center of each. Add optional vegetables if desired. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom to form wraps.
3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with the mixture.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted inside.
5. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with a dipping sauce of choice such as ranch or garlic aioli.
