Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it’s so easy to throw together using ingredients I usually have on hand. It’s ideal for busy weeknights or quick lunches, and the cheesy, garlicky filling always hits the spot. Plus, it’s flexible—I can switch up the cheese, add veggies, or use whatever protein I have. These wraps are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and they never disappoint.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

I melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1–2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
I add the cooked chicken to the skillet and season it with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. I stir well and let it heat through.
In a bowl, I combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheeses. I mix until it’s smooth.
I stir the warm, seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
I lay out the tortillas and divide the mixture evenly among them, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
I fold in the sides and roll them tightly from the bottom to form wraps.
I place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet and cook them over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
I slice them in half, add a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and serve them warm.

Servings and Timing

Servings: 4 wraps
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Variations

Spicy Version: I add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the chicken mixture for some heat.
Extra Veggies: I like throwing in sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for a nutrition boost.
Different Cheeses: I sometimes use Monterey Jack, provolone, or pepper jack depending on what I have.
Low-Carb: I use low-carb tortillas or even lettuce wraps for a lighter option.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: I wrap leftovers in foil or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To keep the wraps crispy, I reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side. The oven works too—10 minutes at 350°F does the trick.
