Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a quick and satisfying meal that combines tender chicken, melted cheese, and bold garlic flavors all wrapped up in golden tortillas. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a hearty snack.

Ingredients

• Cooked Chicken – 2 cups, shredded or diced for a hearty filling.
• Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese – 1 1/2 cups, for a gooey, cheesy texture.
• Cream Cheese – 1/4 cup, softened, adds creaminess.
• Butter – 2 tbsp, melted, for sautéing the garlic.
• Garlic – 3 cloves, minced, for a bold, aromatic flavor.
• Sour Cream – 1/4 cup, for extra creaminess.
• Garlic Powder – 1 tsp, enhances the garlic flavor.
• Italian Seasoning – 1 tsp, adds an herby touch.
• Tortillas – 4 large, for wrapping.
• Salt and Pepper – To taste, for seasoning.
• Fresh Parsley – Optional, for garnish.

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Garlic

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and heat through.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese until combined.

Step 4: Combine Chicken and Cheese

Remove the skillet from heat. Mix the chicken with the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

1. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
2. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center.
3. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture.

Step 6: Fold and Cook the Wraps

1. Fold the tortillas into wraps, tucking in the sides as you roll them up.
2. Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the wraps for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Garnish the wraps with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness.

How to Serve

Pair these wraps with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or chips for a complete meal. They’re also great on their own as a filling snack.

Make Over

Substitutions

• Swap mozzarella or cheddar cheese for feta or goat cheese to change the flavor profile.
• Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a leaner option.
• Opt for low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.

Dietary Modifications

• For gluten-free wraps, use gluten-free tortillas and check the labels on cream cheese and shredded cheese.
• Make it vegetarian by substituting the chicken with plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh.

Make Ahead

Prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, fill the tortillas, cook, and enjoy.

Storing and Reheating

• Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain the crispy texture. Avoid microwaving to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.
