how to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Start by combining the cheeses, seasonings, and shredded chicken to create a creamy, garlicky filling. Spread the mixture evenly on large tortillas, add fresh greens and tomatoes for brightness, roll tightly, and pan-sear until the tortillas are golden and slightly crisp. The skillet step warms the filling through and gives the wraps a satisfying crunch.

how to store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Refrigerate: Store cooled wraps (whole or halved) in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispness. Freeze: Wrap individually in foil and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in a skillet or oven.
tips to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
- Use warm shredded chicken so cheeses melt more easily when cooking.
- Don’t overfill the tortillas; a tight roll seals better and prevents bursting while cooking.
- Cook seam-side down first to help the wrap stay closed.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the tortillas before assembling.
- If using leafy greens that wilt easily, pat them dry to avoid sogginess.
variation (if any)
- Swap mozzarella for cheddar, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend for different profiles.
- Add cooked bacon or diced roasted red peppers for extra texture and flavor.
- Make it spicy with sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Use whole-wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary needs.
