Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In a pan over medium heat:
- Add 1 tbsp butter or olive oil.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (30–45 sec).
- Stir in cream cheese + cream/milk.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add chopped cooked chicken and mix to coat.
Sauce will thicken as it cools — this is your gooey, cheesy binder!
2️⃣ Fill the Wraps
- Lay out each tortilla.
- Scoop ½ cup chicken mixture down the center.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Roll tightly like a burrito (folding in the edges).
3️⃣ Toast and Melt
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place wraps seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray.
- Top each with more mozzarella cheese (go wild!).
- Bake uncovered for 10–12 minutes, then broil for 2–3 mins to bubble and brown the cheese.
Optional: brush tops with garlic butter before baking for extra flavor.
4️⃣ Garnish & Serve
- Sprinkle parsley or oregano over melted cheese.
- Slice diagonally for max cheese-pull effect.
- Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli on the side.
