Equipment

  • 1 skillet
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Pinch red pepper flakes optional
  • 8-10 large 10-inch tortillas
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Season diced chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium, then sauté onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add red and green bell peppers and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 minute more.
  • Mix in softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  • Return cooked chicken to the skillet and stir in mozzarella and cheddar until melted and combined.
  • Warm tortillas until pliable by your preferred method and keep covered to retain warmth.
  • Fill each tortilla with the cheesy chicken mixture, fold in sides, then roll tightly to form wraps.
  • Brush the skillet with melted butter and grill wraps seam-side down for 3-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Slice the wraps and garnish with parsley or cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Allow chicken to brown well for enhanced flavor.
  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated 2-3 days; reheat in skillet for best texture.
