Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

3 tablespoons butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon black pepper

Salt, to taste

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Optional add-ins: spinach, red onions, bell peppers, ranch dressing

Preparation
Step 1:

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2:

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. This will be your garlic butter mixture.

Step 3:

Lay out tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a spoonful of garlic butter over each tortilla, then evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture in the center.

Step 4:

Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form wraps. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 5:

Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and cheese inside is fully melted.
