How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Optional: diced jalapeños or hot sauce for heat; substitutions such as cooked shrimp or turkey.

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; mix until creamy.
Lay out the flour tortillas; spread an equal amount of filling onto the center of each tortilla. Top with spinach, tomatoes, and green onions.
Fold the sides and roll up tightly; for a crispy finish, cook seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Slice in half and serve warm with dipping sauce if desired.

Variations: Add jalapeños or hot sauce for heat; substitute with shrimp or turkey; use different cheeses; omit tortillas for a lettuce-wrapped version.
