How to Make Easy Wraps Magic

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, fresh broccoli, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, and Italian seasoning. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Lay a tortilla flat and add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat this process for each tortilla until the baking dish is full.
- Top the wraps with any remaining shredded cheese for that gooey finish, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Easy Wraps Magic!
