Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a deliciously creamy and savory meal featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheeses, seasoned with garlic and onion powders, and fresh parsley. Wrapped in warm flour tortillas and toasted with garlic butter for a crispy finish, these wraps are perfect for a quick lunch or satisfying dinner, with optional fresh veggies for added crunch and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Wrap & Assembly

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Optional: Baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  2. Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about one-fourth of the chicken cheese mixture into the center of each tortilla. If desired, add baby spinach, shredded lettuce, or sliced tomatoes for extra freshness and crunch. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom tightly to form neat wraps.
  3. Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic and mix well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
  4. Cook the wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of each wrap generously with the garlic butter mixture. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the wraps are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and the cheeses inside have melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each wrap in half diagonally, and serve warm. Pair with a dipping sauce such as ranch dressing or garlic aioli for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken leftover from a roast or grilled chicken breast for convenience.
  • You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
  • Adding fresh vegetables like baby spinach or tomatoes adds nutrition and texture.
  • To keep wraps warm before serving, cover them loosely with foil.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or even a spicy sriracha mayo.
  • For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes inside the filling if you enjoy a little heat.
  • Make sure to cook the wraps seam-side down first to seal them properly and prevent unrolling while toasting.
