# Directions:

01 - Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat evenly.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 30 minutes flat, which means you can have dinner on the table before hunger gets too real.
  • The cheese melts into every corner while staying sealed inside the tortilla, so you get that gooey satisfaction without the mess.
  • It hits that sweet spot where your body feels fueled and your brain feels happy, no afternoon slump required.
02 -
  • Don't skip softening the cream cheese beforehand—cold cream cheese creates lumps in your filling and doesn't blend with the other ingredients smoothly.
  • The seam side goes down first because that's where the wrap is most vulnerable, and searing it first seals it shut so nothing leaks out during cooking.
03 -
  • Room-temperature filling spreads more evenly on the tortilla and makes rolling much easier than cold filling straight from the fridge.
  • Medium heat is your friend here—high heat will brown the outside before the inside cheese has time to melt, leaving you with crispy wraps and cold filling.
