how to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Follow the simple mixing, filling, and toasting steps below for reliably crisp, cheesy wraps.

Ingredients :

• 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• Optional: Baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes

Directions :

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until creamy and cohesive.
2. Place tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon 1/4 of the filling into the center of each. Add optional vegetables if desired. Fold sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom to form wraps.
3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with the mixture.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted inside.
5. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with a dipping sauce of choice such as ranch or garlic aioli.

how to serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Serve warm, halved on a plate with a side salad or fries.
• Offer dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, marinara, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
• For a lighter option, pair with a crisp green salad or a tomato-cucumber salad.

how to store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Refrigerator: Store cooled wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy.
• Freezing: Wrap each cooled, toasted wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15–20 minutes (foil on) then 5 minutes uncovered to crisp.

tips to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Use warm, shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken works great).
• Don’t overfill the tortillas—too much filling makes rolling and toasting difficult.
• Toast gently so cheese melts without burning the tortilla; medium heat is best.
• Brush with garlic butter right before toasting for the best flavor and color.

variation (if any)

• BBQ twist: Mix in 2–3 tablespoons BBQ sauce and swap cheddar for pepper jack.
• Veggie version: Replace chicken with cooked seasoned mushrooms or a chickpea mash.
• Add-ins: Crispy bacon, sliced avocado, diced jalapeños, or a smear of pesto.
