Why You’ll Love These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Ready in a flash—quick family meal status.

It’s customizable: extra veggies, more garlic, add a hot sauce splash—make it yours.
Creamy, cheesy, comforting—but still easier than ordering takeout.

Ingredients

2 cups (300 g) cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup (115 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup (120 g) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup (60 g) sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach leaves
½ cup (90 g) diced tomatoes
¼ cup (15 g) chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions (Step by Step)

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is smoothly blended.
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the creamy chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla.
Top each with spinach and diced tomatoes. If you like, sprinkle in parsley for a pop of fresh green.
Fold in the tortilla sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
Flip carefully and cook the other side another 3–4 minutes, until both sides are lightly browned and the filling is warmed through.
Let the wraps rest for a minute (this helps the filling settle). Slice in half and serve warm.

Cooking Tips & Tricks

If your cream cheese is still cold, pop it in the microwave for 5–10 seconds—it softens faster that way.
Don’t overfill the tortilla. Leaving a small edge helps with folding and avoids spillover when cooking.
Press gently on the wrap while it’s in the skillet using a spatula—this helps it crisp evenly.
Want extra flavor? Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mix.
If your filling seems a little loose, chill it for 5 minutes—rigidity helps with rolling.

A Little Kitchen Story

I first whipped up these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps on a hectic Wednesday evening when my kids had dance and my husband was stuck late at work. I glanced at the clock—it was past 5 pm—and realized I hadn’t thought ahead. But I had leftover chicken, tortillas, and pantry staples. In twenty minutes, the kitchen smelled like garlic heaven. When my kids took their first bites, they smiled and said, “Mom, this is amazing—what’s in it?” That’s how this wrap became my go-to for “I forgot to plan dinner” nights—and one I genuinely look forward to making.

What to Serve With These Wraps

These wraps already pack protein, dairy, and veggies, but here are a few side ideas to round out the meal:

Garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette to cut through richness
Roasted sweet potato fries or a simple oven-baked potato
Coleslaw or crunchy slaw dressed lightly with lemon or vinegar
A side of salsa, pico de gallo, or guacamole (dip your wrap edges—yum)
A light soup (like tomato basil) when fall or winter weather hits

These serve well together, and you’ll get compliments—from guests or picky eaters—on how satisfying this quick wrap feels.

How to Store & Reheat

In the fridge: Let leftovers cool to room temp, then wrap individually in foil or store in airtight containers. They’ll stay good for 3–4 days.
In the freezer: Wrap tightly (foil + plastic wrap) and freeze for up to 2 months.
To reheat:
- From the fridge: Pop in a 350 °F (175 °C) oven for ~10 minutes, or into a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until warmed and crisp.
- From frozen: Thaw overnight, then reheat as above.
- Microwave? You can—heat 1 minute, check, then in 30-second bursts—but the tortilla won’t be crispy. If crispiness is your jam, finish it in a skillet.

FAQs About Your Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Q: Can I substitute another cheese if I don’t have mozzarella?

A: Absolutely. Cheddar or Monterey Jack work well—just pick a cheese that melts nicely.

Q: Can I use tortillas other than flour, like corn or whole-wheat?

A: Yes! Whole-wheat flour tortillas are an easy swap. Corn tortillas are trickier because they’re less flexible—warm them first to prevent cracking.

Q: Is this a good easy dinner recipe for picky eaters?

A: It is! The flavors are familiar (cheese, garlic, chicken), and the spinach and tomato are optional or easy to sneak in finely chopped.

Q: Can I make this ahead for meal prep?

A: You can prepare the filling a day ahead and assemble right before cooking to preserve the tortilla texture.

Q: Any dairy-free or lightened-up options?

A: Use a dairy-free cream cheese or Greek yoghurt instead of sour cream, and reduce the cheese a bit. Flavour will shift, but you’ll keep the spirit of a creamy chicken wrap.
