- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Assemble the Wraps: Take a tortilla and lay it flat. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture into the center. If you like, add fresh spinach or lettuce for an extra crunch. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly to secure the filling.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve them warm. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or a refreshing side salad for a complete meal.
