how to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Follow straightforward mixing, filling, brushing, and toasting steps to assemble warm, cheesy wraps with a garlicky finish. The method is forgiving: if your filling is a touch dry, add a spoonful more mayonnaise or a splash of milk; if too loose, chill briefly before filling.

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 :

In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until creamy and cohesive.
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.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with the mixture.
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.
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 and halved for easy handling. Offer dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or a spicy sriracha mayo. Add a side salad or crispy fries to make it a full meal. For picnic-style servings, wrap each in parchment to keep them warm and contained.

how to store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast in a skillet over low-medium heat or bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and the tortilla is crisp. Avoid microwaving if you want to preserve crispness; if microwaving, then finish in a hot skillet for 1 minute per side.

tips to make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

• Use warm shredded chicken (leftover rotisserie works great) so it mixes easily with the cheeses.
• If your filling seems dry, a little extra mayo or a tablespoon of plain yogurt can add creaminess without overpowering flavor.
• Press and roll tortillas tightly to prevent filling from falling out while toasting.
• Cook the wraps seam-side down first to seal them and keep the filling inside.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a few drops of hot sauce to the filling.

variation (if any)

• Buffalo-style: Mix 2–3 tablespoons of buffalo sauce into the chicken filling and serve with blue cheese dressing.
• Veggie-loaded: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or caramelized onions to the filling.
• BBQ twist: Stir 2–3 tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce into the filling and swap cheddar for pepper jack for a smoky kick.
