Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything required to make this ooey-gooey goodness:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Sauté the Garlic
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce
Lower the heat slightly and stir in the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Chicken
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and warmed through.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
Remove the skillet from heat. Fold in the mozzarella and cheddar cheese until they begin to melt into the mixture.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat and spoon the cheesy chicken filling into the center of each. Roll them tightly into wraps.
Step 6: Toast Until Golden
Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
(Optional: Wrap in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.)
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm while the cheese is perfectly gooey.
Tips & Variations
- Extra crispy: Brush the tortillas lightly with butter before toasting
- Veggie boost: Add sautéed spinach or bell peppers to the filling
- Milder flavor: Use only 2 cloves of garlic if cooking for kids
- Low-carb option: Serve the filling in lettuce wraps
- Meal prep: Store filling separately and assemble wraps fresh
