Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps


  • Author: Martha

Description

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are packed with flavor, combining tender chicken, gooey melted cheese, and a delicious garlic-infused seasoning. Wrapped in soft tortillas and lightly toasted, they make for a quick, easy, and irresistible meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded): Use rotisserie chicken or any pre-cooked chicken to save time.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded): For a stretchy, melty texture.
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded): Adds a sharp, flavorful kick.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil: Used to sauté the garlic and add richness.
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced): Provides fresh garlic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder: Enhances the garlicky taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder: Adds a mild onion flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: Season according to your preference.
  • 4 large flour tortillas: The base of the wraps; make sure they’re large enough to hold all the fillings.
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted): Used to brush the wraps before toasting, giving them a golden, crispy finish.
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped): For garnish and a pop of color.

Instructions

 

  • Sauté the garlic: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and lightly golden.
  • Season the chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the pan with the garlic. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and well-coated with the seasonings.
  • Add the cheese: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese begins to melt and combines with the chicken, creating a gooey, cheesy filling.
  • Assemble the wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing the filling in the center of each one. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to create a wrap.
  • Toast the wraps: Brush the outside of each wrap with melted butter to give it a crispy, golden finish. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
  • Garnish and serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Slice in half, if desired, and serve hot!

Notes

  • These wraps are great for meal prep! Make the cheesy chicken filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble and toast the wraps when you’re ready to enjoy them.
  • You can also serve these wraps with a side of salsa, sour cream, or a dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli for extra flavor.
