How to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
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
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- 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. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on each tortilla, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortillas over the filling to create 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.
- 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
These wraps can be served fresh off the pan, hot and cheesy. You can pair them with a side salad, some crispy fries, or even a bowl of soup. They also make a great snack or lunch option, perfect for dipping in extra creamy garlic sauce or your favorite salsa.
How to Store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a pan over medium heat until heated through, or pop them in the microwave for a quick meal.
Tips to Make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

- Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste. Add more garlic for a stronger flavor or some chili powder for a bit of heat.
- Experiment with different types of cheese or add extra veggies like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
Variations
You can easily modify the filling to suit your preferences. Try using different proteins like grilled shrimp or turkey, or switch the cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick. You can even make a vegetarian version by substituting the chicken with beans or roasted vegetables.
