- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
- If the chicken is not already cooked, start by cooking it and then dicing it into small pieces.
- In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it is golden and fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

- Lay a tortilla flat and place a portion of the cheesy garlic chicken mixture in the center.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly, like a burrito.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Let the wraps rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing them in half.
- Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
