Ingredients
To prepare these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the Chicken Filling:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into small strips)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced avocado
- Diced tomatoes
- Lettuce leaves
- Sour cream or ranch dressing
Preparation Steps
Step 1: Preparing the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle the paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, chili flakes (if using), dried oregano, and basil over the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.
- Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Preparing the Cheese Mixture
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Assembling the Wraps
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
- Spread an even layer of the cheese mixture onto each tortilla.
- Add a generous portion of the cooked garlic chicken on top.
- If desired, add sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or lettuce.
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you roll.
Step 4: Toasting the Wraps
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Brush each wrap with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder and Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
- Place the wraps seam-side down on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat and let them cool slightly before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are best served warm with a side of sour cream, ranch dressing, or even a zesty salsa. You can pair them with crispy French fries, a fresh green salad, or a bowl of soup for a more filling meal. They are also great for meal prep—simply wrap them in foil and reheat them when needed.
Tips for the Best Wraps
- Use fresh garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides a bolder flavor than garlic powder.
- Crispier wraps: For an extra crispy wrap, press them down slightly while toasting in the skillet.
- Cheese options: Feel free to mix up the cheese varieties—smoked gouda or pepper jack add a unique touch.
- Extra protein: If you want more protein, add cooked bacon or grilled shrimp.
- Make it healthier: Use whole wheat tortillas and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
