Cook the Garlic Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked. Add 1 tablespoon butter and minced garlic, sautéing for another minute until aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Creamy Garlic Spread

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, a pinch of garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and creamy. This adds depth and moisture to the wraps.

Assemble the Wraps

Lay tortillas flat. Spread a thin layer of the creamy garlic mixture. Add cooked chicken evenly across each wrap. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Toast the Wraps

Fold wraps tightly. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add remaining butter. Place wraps seam-side down and cook until golden and crisp. Flip and toast the other side until cheese melts completely.

Final Touch

Remove from heat and let wraps rest for 1 minute before slicing. This allows cheese to set slightly and prevents filling from spilling.

Serve

Slice diagonally and garnish with extra parsley or chili flakes. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.
