Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 4 large tortillas
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a flavorful skillet with melted butter and gently toast minced garlic until its aromatic essence permeates the pan.
- Incorporate the pre-cooked chicken into the garlic-infused butter, enhancing its flavor profile with a harmonious blend of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Create a luscious creamy mixture by combining softened cream cheese, tangy sour cream, and a portion of the shredded cheese in a separate bowl.
- Merge the seasoned chicken with the creamy blend, ensuring a thorough and even integration of ingredients.
- Lay out tortillas and distribute the chicken-cream mixture evenly across the center of each wrap.
- Generously sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese atop the chicken filling.
- Carefully fold and roll the tortillas, neatly tucking in the sides to create compact, secure wraps.
- Activate a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat and carefully toast the wraps, rotating once to achieve a golden-brown exterior and ensure the cheese melts completely.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for an additional burst of color and herbaceous flavor, then serve immediately while warm and inviting.
Notes
- Customize the wrap’s protein by using leftover turkey, shredded beef, or plant-based chicken alternatives for versatile meal options.
- Toast tortillas slightly before filling to prevent sogginess and enhance the wrap’s structural integrity.
- Reduce fat content by using low-fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and part-skim mozzarella cheese for a lighter version.
- Enhance nutrition by adding diced spinach, roasted bell peppers, or chopped kale into the cream cheese mixture for extra vitamins and fiber.
