Instructions
- Blend cream cheese, garlic, and mozzarella into a smooth, fragrant spread at room temperature.

- Generously coat each tortilla with the creamy garlic mixture, creating an even layer of rich flavor.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken atop the cheesy base, ensuring uniform distribution across the tortilla.
- Carefully fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll into a compact wrap, sealing the delicious filling inside.
- Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat, positioning the wraps seam-side down to ensure a secure closure.
- Sear the wraps for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until achieving a golden-brown, crispy exterior with a delightful crunch.

- Serve immediately while the wraps are warm and the cheese remains wonderfully melted.
Notes
- Try different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a flavor twist that elevates the wrap’s taste profile.
- Swap chicken with grilled tofu, shredded turkey, or plant-based protein to accommodate vegetarian or dietary preferences.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for achieving an extra golden and crisp exterior that delivers restaurant-quality texture and color.
- Control medium heat carefully to prevent burning while ensuring the cheese melts smoothly and the tortilla develops a perfect golden-brown crunch.
