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

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until everything is creamy and well combined.
2. Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon 1/4 of the filling into the center of each tortilla. If you want, add any optional vegetables on top.
3. Fold the sides of the tortillas inward and then roll them tightly from the bottom to form wraps.
4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with this mixture.
5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy, with melted cheese inside.
6. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, like ranch or garlic aioli.
