⭐ How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Follow these simple steps for perfect wraps every time.
Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the shredded or sliced chicken, then season with:
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Stir well and cook for 3–5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and coated in the spices.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Cook for 1 minute until fragrant—don’t burn the garlic.
Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold.
On each tortilla:
- Add a layer of shredded chicken
- Sprinkle mozzarella or cheddar
- Add Parmesan cheese
- Drizzle with garlic butter sauce
Fold the tortillas like a burrito:
Fold in the sides → roll tightly from the bottom up.
Step 4: Toast the Wraps
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
Place each wrap seam-side-down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until:
- The tortilla is golden
- The cheese is fully melted
- The wrap becomes crispy
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Cut wraps in half and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
These are best served warm but can be reheated easily.
