How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Directions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 2: Lay out the flour tortillas and spread an equal amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with fresh spinach leaves, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
