Description

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps combine crispy tortillas, garlicky chicken, and melted cheese for a quick, delicious meal. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish is customizable and takes just 20 minutes to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless chicken breasts (or tofu/shredded rotisserie chicken as substitutes)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil/melted butter)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free cheese alternative)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Colby Jack/Monterey Jack)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat/gluten-free tortillas)
  • ½ cup creamy garlic sauce (or ranch dressing/hummus)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or cilantro/basil)

Smart Ingredient Swaps:

  • No chicken? Use shrimp, turkey, or mushrooms for a veggie option.
  • Watching carbs? Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps.
  • Lactose intolerant? Use dairy-free cheese or skip it.
  • Love heat? Add jalapeños or hot sauce.

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken
    Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces. Mix with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes for extra flavor.

  • Cook the Chicken
    Heat a pan on medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  • Assemble the Wraps
    Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spread creamy garlic sauce evenly over each. Add the cooked chicken in the center and sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

  • Fold the Wraps
    Fold in the sides first, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to keep everything inside.

  • Cook Until Crispy
    Heat a clean pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.

  • Serve and Enjoy
    Remove the wraps from the pan, let them cool for a minute, slice in half, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a crispier wrap, add a bit of oil to the pan when cooking.
  • If you like extra spice, consider adding jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
  • These wraps can be made ahead and frozen for quick meals.
