# Directions:

02 - In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
03 - Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Spoon each portion onto the center of a tortilla, then roll up tightly to form a wrap.

05 - Remove from the skillet, slice each wrap in half, and serve hot. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The cheese gets melty and slightly crispy on the outside while staying creamy inside, which is honestly the best texture combination.
  • It comes together in thirty minutes, making it perfect for nights when you're hungry but don't want to spend hours cooking.
  • You can customize the filling with whatever cheese or herbs you have on hand, so it never feels like the same meal twice.
02 -
  • Don't overstuff the wraps—I learned this the messy way when filling started seeping out the sides; a palm-sized portion of filling per wrap is actually perfect.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is soft before mixing; cold cream cheese creates lumps that ruin the smooth texture of the filling.
03 -
  • If your tortillas tear when rolling, microwave them for fifteen seconds first to soften them and make them more pliable.
  • Using a combination of two cheeses instead of just one creates more complex flavor and better melting behavior than relying on a single type.
