👩🍳 Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Season the Chicken
Place cooked chicken in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise or cream cheese and half of the garlic butter mixture. Stir until the chicken is creamy and well coated.
3. Assemble the Wraps
Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Add chicken mixture to the center of each tortilla, then top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Add optional toppings if desired. 🌯
4. Fold the Wraps
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into wraps so the filling stays secure while cooking.
5. Toast Until Crispy
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Brush With Garlic Butter
Brush the remaining garlic butter over the wraps while still warm for extra flavor and shine. ✨🧄
7. Slice & Serve
Cut wraps in half and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melty.
