Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Butter Base:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Season the Chicken:
- Add cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cook until heated through and well-coated in the seasoning.
Make the Creamy Cheese Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese.
Combine the Mixture:
- Remove chicken from heat and stir it into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly among them, placing it in the center.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Roll & Cook:
- Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.

Serve:

Notes
- Versatile Filling: The chicken mixture can be customized with additional ingredients like sautéed vegetables, cooked bacon, or even diced jalapeños for added flavor and texture.
- Cheese Selection: While mozzarella and cheddar are classic choices, you can experiment with gouda, Monterey jack, or even a mix of cheeses for a unique taste.
- Tortilla Tips: Use large, soft tortillas to ensure easy rolling. Warm them slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
- Seasoning Balance: Adjust the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to suit your taste. A sprinkle of paprika or cumin can also add depth.
- Dietary Modifications: Substitute regular tortillas with whole wheat, gluten-free, or low-carb options based on dietary preferences.
- Storage Friendly: The prepared chicken filling can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it a convenient meal prep option.
- Crispier Finish: For a crispier exterior, lightly brush the wraps with olive oil or butter before cooking them in the skillet.
- Serving Ideas: Pair these wraps with a fresh salad, roasted veggies, or a side of guacamole or sour cream for a complete meal.
