Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced leftover rotisserie or poached chicken works well
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced fresh garlic for best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese use a mix for best melt and flavor
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 4 large tortillas
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a skillet over medium and melt the butter.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring so it does not brown.
  3. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the chicken is heated through and coated with the garlic butter.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese until smooth and well combined.
  5. Fold the warmed chicken into the cheese mixture so each piece is coated evenly.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Lay the tortillas flat and divide the chicken mixture among them. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of each portion.
  2. Fold the sides in, then roll the tortillas tightly to form wraps.
  3. Return the skillet to medium heat and place each wrap seam side down. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the tortillas are golden and the cheese has melted.
  4. Transfer to a plate, garnish with parsley, slice if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter option, swap half the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and shredded alternative cheese, but expect slightly different melt behavior. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheat to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before consuming.
