Directions
-
Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken across the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses over the chicken. Drizzle the garlic butter over the fillings. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Fold the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely.
-
Cook the Wraps: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
-
Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice each wrap in half diagonally, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Reheating: For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave on high for 1–2 minutes, though this may result in a softer tortilla.
