Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner. Packed with flavorful chicken, gooey cheeses, and a hint of garlic, these wraps are easy to make and sure to please the whole family.

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

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and parsley. Mix well until the filling is creamy and cohesive.
2. Step 2: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about one-quarter of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Add optional baby spinach, lettuce, or sliced tomatoes if desired. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Using a brush, generously coat the outside of each wrap with the garlic butter mixture.
4. Step 4: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast each wrap seam-side down for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip to toast the other side until golden brown and crisp, and the cheese inside is melted.
5. Step 5: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half, and serve warm. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or garlic aioli for extra flavor.

Tips & Variations

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the filling.
• Swap out mozzarella and cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a smoky taste.
• Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add more fiber and nutrients.
• Cook the chicken with fresh garlic and herbs before shredding to enhance flavor.

Storage

Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness and warm the filling thoroughly. Avoid microwaving directly as it may make the tortilla soggy.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Filling

• 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken
• 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

Wraps

• 4 large flour tortillas

Garlic Butter

• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Optional

• Baby spinach
• Shredded lettuce
• Sliced tomatoes

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture becomes creamy and cohesive.
2. Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about a quarter of the prepared filling into the center of each tortilla. If you prefer, add optional vegetables such as baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes for added freshness. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and tightly roll them from the bottom up to form secure wraps.
3. Brush with garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic thoroughly. Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the outside of each wrap to infuse them with rich flavor and help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when toasted.
4. Toast the wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down on the skillet to prevent them from unrolling. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the wraps are golden brown, crisp, and the cheese inside has fully melted.
5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each one in half, and serve warm. These wraps pair excellently with dipping sauces such as ranch dressing or garlic aioli for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling mixture.
• Use cooked rotisserie chicken as a convenient shortcut.
• Wraps can be prepared in advance and toasted just before serving for optimal freshness.
• Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
