Step-by-Step Preparation: How to Make Ooey-Gooey Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Step 1:
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 2:
Lay the tortillas flat and spread a thin layer of garlic butter on one side of each tortilla.

Step 3:
On the unbuttered side, layer shredded chicken, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.

Step 4:
Fold each tortilla in half, creating a semi-circle wrap, and gently press to seal.

Step 5:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the wraps, two at a time, garlic-butter side down.

Step 6:
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 7:
Transfer to a cutting board, let cool slightly, then slice in halves or wedges.

Step 8:
Garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes, and serve warm with dipping sauces of your choice.

• Overfilling the wrap: Makes flipping difficult and can cause tearing
