# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
02 -
4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 -
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 -
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
→ Cheese and Tortillas
08 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 -
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until foaming, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned.
02 -
Lower heat to medium-low, add softened cream cheese to the skillet, and stir until fully melted and smooth. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, whisking until no lumps remain.
03 -
Add shredded chicken and half of the shredded mozzarella to the skillet, folding gently until chicken is thoroughly coated and cheese has started to melt.
04 -
Place one quarter of the filling in the center of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly on top. Fold in sides and roll tightly to seal.
05 -
Set wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until tortillas are crispy and deeply golden and the cheese is melted inside.
06 -
Let wraps cool for 1–2 minutes, then slice diagonally with a sharp knife before serving to showcase the melted cheese interior.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Warm tortillas before filling for easier rolling and to prevent cracking.
02 -
Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling with no lumps.
03 -
Do not overfill the wraps to avoid bursting.
