Why This Recipe Works

This recipe works because it mixes bold spices with creamy garlic sauce and two cheeses. The spices give the chicken flavor, the sauce adds creaminess, and grilling the wrap makes the tortilla crisp while melting the cheese. The balance of crisp and creamy makes each bite satisfying.

How to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

This is an easy wrap you can make for a quick meal or for guests. Use the steps below to get a melty, crispy wrap.

Ingredients :

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Equipments Needed

• Cutting board and knife
• Mixing bowl
• Non-stick pan
• Spatula
• Grater (if cheese not pre-shredded)
• Measuring spoons and cups

Step-by-Step Instructions :

1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
5. Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

How to serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

How to store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

• Short term: Place cooled wraps in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a pan over low heat until the cheese melts or use a quick oven bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
• Freezing: You can freeze wrapped, cooked wraps in foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

Tips & Tricks

• Dice chicken small so it cooks fast and fits the wrap.
• Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help it brown.
• Use low heat when grilling the wrap so the cheese melts without burning the tortilla.
• Add a little butter to the pan for extra crisp and color on the tortilla.

Variations & Substitutions

• Swap chicken for cooked shredded rotisserie chicken for a faster version.
• Use pepper jack or Monterey Jack instead of mozzarella for more heat.
• Try whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different flavor and more fiber.
• Replace creamy garlic sauce with ranch or tzatziki for a different taste.
