How to Make Cheesy Chicken Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 large chicken breast, cooked & chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese or sour cream
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Directions:
Season & Prep the Chicken: Dice or shred the cooked chicken and toss it with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix in cream cheese or sour cream for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
