  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 pinch salt
  • black pepper to taste
For the Garlic Butter

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced, or 1.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 dash Italian seasoning additional
  • 1 pinch salt additional
For Assembly
  • 8 large flour tortillas soft taco size
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for skillet
  • fresh parsley for garnish, optional

  • Non-stick skillet,
  • Small bowl
  • - Spatula

Method
 

Prepare the Creamy Garlic Filling Base
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder (if using powder instead of fresh garlic in the filling). Mix until completely smooth and there are no lumps.
Combine the Filling Ingredients
  1. Add the 3 cups of shredded cooked chicken to the bowl. Sprinkle in the shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. Season generously with the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use a large spoon or clean hands to mix everything thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated in the creamy, cheesy mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assemble the Wraps
  1. Lay out one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the chicken-cheese filling slightly off-center. Fold in the opposing sides of the tortilla first, about 1 inch over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortilla tightly, wrapping it like a burrito. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat for all eight wraps.
Create the Garlic Butter
  1. Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Stir in the freshly minced garlic, a dash more Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the Skillet
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Toast the Wraps
  1. Brush the tops of the assembled wraps generously with the garlic butter mixture. Place two or three wraps (seam-side down first) in the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd.
  2. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until each side is golden-brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
  3. Remove and slice on the diagonal. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For maximum 'ooey gooey' factor, use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded. Make the filling ahead for quick assembly. Store uncooked wraps in fridge for up to 2 days or cooked in airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in a dry skillet for crispness.
