How to Make Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Mix the Cheesy Garlic Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, mayonnaise, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and the mixture looks creamy and cohesive.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the cheesy chicken mixture among the four tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into wraps.
Step 3: Toast to Ooey-Gooey Perfection
Heat ½ tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey. You may need to work in batches; add more butter as needed.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice wraps in half, sprinkle with extra parsley, and dig in while they’re warm, ooey-gooey, and absolutely irresistible!
