Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: If not already done, cook and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Melt butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Combine chicken and seasoning: Stir in the shredded chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated thoroughly.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and well combined.
- Warm tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble wraps: Place a generous portion of the cheesy chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
- Grill wraps (Optional): For added crispiness, place the wraps seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the skillet and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve Warm: Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and melted.
