  • ¼ cup cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 4 large tortillas

  6. Step 6: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
  7. Step 7: Remove the wraps from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm for the best taste.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warm and the cheese is melted. For best texture, reheat in a skillet to keep the tortilla crispy.
