🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
🔑 Primary Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked chicken breast)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for skillet frying)
🧄 For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier twist)
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for extra richness)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley or green onion (for garnish)
🔥 How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
1. Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, both cheeses, and your creamy garlic sauce. Mix until well combined. For extra creaminess, you can warm the mixture slightly so the cheese begins to melt.
2. Assemble the Wraps
Place the chicken-cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly like a burrito—fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up.
Tip: To avoid falling apart, lightly warm the tortillas before wrapping. Use the “burrito fold method” to keep everything secure.
3. Toast Until Crispy
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.

❓How to make cheesy garlic chicken wraps low-carb?
Swap out the flour tortilla for a low-carb or gluten-free wrap, and replace sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.

Cheddar and mozzarella are classic, but feel free to try pepper jack, Monterey jack, or red Leicester for bolder flavor.

Absolutely! Place wraps on a parchment-lined tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping once, until crispy.
