Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy.
- Lay out one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, spreading it into a line.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure wrap.
- Place the seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
- Brush the tops of the assembled wraps with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with a pinch of garlic powder.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
