Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to create the ultimate cheesy garlic chicken wraps:
For the Wrap Filling:
-
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
Rotisserie chicken is a convenient and flavorful shortcut, but any cooked chicken works. -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Mild and melty, it provides that irresistible cheese pull. -
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Adds sharpness and a rich, creamy texture. -
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Nutty and salty, this cheese deepens the overall flavor. -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or sour cream
These ingredients add creaminess and help bind everything together. -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Infuses the filling with mellow garlic flavor. -
½ teaspoon onion powder
Boosts the savory profile without overpowering. -
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
4 large flour tortillas
Soft and pliable, perfect for wrapping and grilling.
For Garlic Butter Brushing:
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic (fresh or jarred)
Optional Garnish:
-
Chopped fresh parsley
Adds a pop of color and a fresh, herbaceous finish.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Cheese Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. Add mayonnaise or sour cream to provide moisture and richness. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
This step is key to ensuring every bite contains a little bit of everything—chicken, cheese, and seasoning in perfect balance.
Step 2: Fill and Roll the Wraps
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Scoop approximately 1/4 of the mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
To roll:
-
Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling.
-
Fold in both sides.
-
Roll tightly from the bottom up, forming a burrito-style wrap.
Ensure the seam is on the bottom so it seals better during cooking.
Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic. This is your flavor weapon—brushing it on the outside of the wrap before cooking gives the tortilla a buttery, golden, and flavorful crust.
Step 4: Toast the Wraps
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. No additional oil is needed due to the garlic butter.
Place each wrap seam-side down in the hot skillet. Toast for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to press down slightly so the wrap seals and gets evenly crispy.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once all sides are beautifully browned, remove the wraps from the skillet. Let them rest for a minute, then slice diagonally if desired. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of color and fresh flavor.
