Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
¼ cup butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 large flour tortillas
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step No.1: Prepare the garlic butter sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step No.2: Cook the chicken
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce.

Stir until the chicken is fully coated in the garlic butter mixture, and cook for 3-4 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat.

Step No.3: Assemble the wraps
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the cheesy garlic chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken mixture.

Step No.4: Wrap and cook
Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding it in the sides to secure the filling. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.

Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted inside.

Step No.5: Serve
Slice the wraps in half, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for Success

Use rotisserie chicken: To save time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken from scratch.

Add veggies: Feel free to add sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.

Make it spicy: Add a few slices of jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture for an extra kick.

Use different cheese: If you prefer a sharper flavor, you can use cheddar or gouda cheese instead of mozzarella.

Don’t overcook the wraps: Keep an eye on the wraps while cooking to ensure they get crispy without burning the tortillas.

Variations

Add bacon: Crispy bacon crumbles would be a great addition to these wraps for extra crunch and flavor.

Avocado: Add slices of fresh avocado to each wrap for a creamy, rich texture.

Spinach: Mix fresh spinach into the chicken mixture for a burst of color and nutrition information.

Barbecue version: Swap the garlic butter sauce for barbecue sauce for a sweet and smoky twist on the flavor.

Make it vegetarian diet: Substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas for a delicious vegetarian option.
