Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Main Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, diced
4 large flour tortillas

Seasonings & Oil

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cheese & Sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup creamy garlic sauce

Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce on each tortilla. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over each tortilla, then sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating wraps. Grill the wraps in the same pan for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
Remove from the pan, cut each wrap in half, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Variations

Add vegetables: You can include sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach to add extra flavor and nutrition.
Spicy kick: Add a bit of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to the chicken mixture for some heat.
Different cheeses: If you prefer a different cheese, feel free to use Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or even Parmesan for a unique twist.
Chicken alternatives: You can swap the chicken for cooked ground beef, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy again. You can also microwave them for 30-45 seconds if you’re in a pinch, though they won’t be as crispy.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of sauce instead of creamy garlic sauce?

Yes, you can use ranch dressing, sour cream, or any creamy sauce you prefer. Even a simple tomato sauce could work well for a different flavor profile.

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Yes, you can substitute corn tortillas if you prefer, but note that they might not be as flexible and may crack when you fold them.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

While these wraps are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the chicken and cheese filling in advance, store it in the refrigerator, and assemble and grill the wraps when you’re ready.

Can I bake these wraps instead of grilling them in the pan?

Yes, you can bake them! Place the wraps on a baking sheet, brush with a little olive oil, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.

Can I freeze these wraps?

You can freeze the wraps before grilling them. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight and grill as instructed.

Can I use cooked chicken for this recipe?

Absolutely! If you have leftover cooked chicken, simply dice it and add it to the tortillas with the seasonings and cheese.

How can I make these wraps spicier?

Add some cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix or top the wraps with hot sauce or chopped fresh chilies for extra heat.

Can I use a different kind of cheese?

Feel free to mix up the cheese! You can use a combination of mozzarella and provolone, or add a sharp cheddar for a more intense flavor.

Can I prepare the garlic sauce myself?

Yes! You can make your own creamy garlic sauce using mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, and a splash of lemon juice for extra freshness.

How can I make these wraps more filling?

For a more hearty wrap, consider adding some cooked rice or black beans along with the chicken and cheese. This will also add extra texture and flavor.
