For your Cozy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps, you’ll need the following ingredients:

2–3 tbsp garlic butter or minced garlic
¼ cup mayonnaise or cream cheese
1 tbsp parsley or Italian seasoning
Salt & black pepper to taste

Let’s Make It Together

Now, let’s dive into the cozy kitchen adventure of making these wraps. Follow these simple steps:

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, garlic butter or minced garlic, mayonnaise or cream cheese, parsley or Italian seasoning, and salt and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
Take a large tortilla and spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture down the center.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to create a nice wrap.
In a lightly oiled pan over medium heat, toast the wraps seam-side down for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown.
Flip the wraps and toast the other side until it’s perfectly golden and melty inside.
Remove from the pan, slice in half if desired, and serve warm, perhaps with a sprinkle of chili flakes for a little kick.
