How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken 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
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until everything is creamy and well-combined.
- Place the tortillas flat on a surface. Spoon 1/4 of the filling into the center of each tortilla. Add any optional vegetables you want.
- Fold the sides of the tortillas inward and then roll tightly from the bottom to form wraps.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with this mixture.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until they are golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted inside.
- Slice each wrap in half and serve warm. Great with a dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli.
How to Serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
These wraps are best served warm. You can enjoy them as they are or with your favorite dipping sauce. Add a side of fresh salad or crispy fries for a complete meal. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a party snack.
How to Store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
To store leftovers, let the wraps cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to reheat them, simply warm them in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
Tips to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
- For added flavor, use rotisserie chicken or seasoned chicken.
- Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra crunch.
- If you like it spicy, add some jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
Variation
You can easily switch up the cheeses or use different protein sources like turkey or beef. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with black beans or grilled vegetables.
