Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• ¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
• ¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
4. Step 4: Mix the seasoned chicken into the cheese mixture until thoroughly combined, ensuring the chicken pieces are well coated.

6. Step 6: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
7. Step 7: Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for the best taste.
