- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried Provides fresh herbal brightness.
- 4 large flour tortillas Soft, flexible wrap base that crisps nicely.

Method
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, olive oil (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to coat the chicken with seasonings.
- Add the mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley. Stir until the mixture is creamy and cohesive; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 of the filling into the center of each tortilla. Add optional baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes if you like.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and tightly roll from the bottom to form a snug wrap. Place each wrap seam-side down on a plate.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap with the garlic-butter mixture.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place each wrap seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the exterior is golden and crisp and the cheese inside is melted.
- Remove the wraps from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.

Notes
Don't overfill the wraps; use roughly 1/4 of the filling per tortilla. Use low to medium heat for toasting to avoid burning. For extra crunch, try using a panini press. You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
