¼ cup mayonnaise

-

Instructions
1. Make the Chicken Filling
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
2. Assemble the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the creamy chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla.
3. Add Fresh Veggies
Top the chicken filling with a handful of spinach, a few spoonfuls of diced tomato, and a sprinkle of green onion.
4. Roll It Up
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a secure wrap.
5. Optional: Toast the Wraps
For a golden, crispy exterior, heat a skillet over medium heat and place each wrap seam-side down. Toast for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and warmed through.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Slice each wrap in half and serve warm. They’re delicious with a side of soup, chips, or a crisp salad.
Variations
-
Add spice – Mix in chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes for heat.
-
Swap the cheese – Try shredded cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
-
Go low-carb – Use low-carb wraps or large lettuce leaves as a substitute.

Make it vegetarian – Replace chicken with roasted chickpeas or black beans.
