🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need

You don’t need anything fancy — just simple ingredients that work together beautifully:

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or a mix)
  • Optional fillings: baby spinach, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, or crispy bacon bits

🍳 How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

These wraps come together easily with just a few simple steps:


Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the pan and set aside.


Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant (don’t burn it!).
Stir in parsley, red pepper flakes, and salt. Toss the cooked chicken back into the skillet and coat it well in the garlic butter sauce.


Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the tortillas.
Sprinkle each with a generous layer of cheese, then spoon some of the garlic chicken mixture on top.
If you’re adding extras like spinach or roasted peppers, layer them now.

Fold the sides inward and roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito.


Step 4: Toast the Wraps

Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat (or use a panini press).
Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.


Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce — ranch, garlic aioli, marinara, or honey mustard all work beautifully.


🧀 Tips for the Best Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

  1. Use freshly shredded cheese — it melts more smoothly and gives the best flavor.
  2. Don’t skip the garlic butter — it’s what gives these wraps their rich, buttery taste.
  3. Go for a crispy finish — toasting the wraps is key to that perfect texture.
  4. Double the batch — they’re freezer-friendly and perfect for meal prep.
  5. Add veggies — bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms make them extra hearty.

🌶️ Variations to Try

  • 🥓 Bacon Garlic Chicken Wraps: Add crispy bacon bits for smoky flavor.
  • 🥦 Garlic Chicken & Veggie Wraps: Toss in sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, or peppers.
  • 🧆 Creamy Ranch Version: Mix ranch dressing into the garlic sauce for extra tang.
  • 🌮 Spicy Kick: Add hot sauce, chili flakes, or pepper jack cheese.
  • 🧄 Garlic Parmesan Twist: Sprinkle grated Parmesan inside the wrap before toasting.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

These wraps are great on their own, but you can serve them with a variety of sides to make it a complete meal:

  • Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
  • Garden salad with a light vinaigrette
  • Garlic roasted veggies
  • Tomato basil soup for dipping
  • Coleslaw for a fresh crunch

🧊 Storage & Reheating

Store:
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Reheat:
Toast in a skillet or air fryer for 3–4 minutes per side until warm and crispy again. Avoid microwaving — it can make the tortilla soggy.

Freeze:
Let wraps cool, then freeze individually wrapped in foil. To reheat, thaw overnight and crisp in the oven or skillet.
