Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 medium flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic products (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: If your chicken is not cooked, season it lightly with salt and pepper and bake, sauté, or grill until fully cooked. Dice into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add the diced chicken to the pan and toss it with the garlic oil to evenly infuse flavor. Remove the pan from heat.
4. Step 4: Stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses while the chicken is still hot, allowing the cheese to start melting.
5. Step 5: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
6. Step 6: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and press gently.
7. Step 7: Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
8. Step 8: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.
9. Step 9: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the wraps if desired, and serve warm.
