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 shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix until the filling is creamy and well combined.
Place the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon one-fourth of the filling into the center of each tortilla. If you want, add baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with 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 golden and crisp. The cheese inside should be melted.
Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli.

How to Serve Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps are perfect served warm. Pair them with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing or garlic aioli to elevate the flavors even more. You can also serve them with a side of fresh salad or vegetable sticks.

How to Store Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

To store leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until they are heated through and crispy again.

Tips to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
