Description

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a quick and delicious meal perfect for lunch or dinner. Featuring tender shredded chicken mixed with a blend of gooey mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, combined with garlic and spices for a savory filling. Wrapped in a warm tortilla and lightly pan-fried to golden perfection, they offer a satisfying blend of creamy, cheesy, and savory flavors with optional fresh spinach and diced tomatoes for added brightness.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Assembly

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup baby spinach or lettuce (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, and mayonnaise or sour cream in a large bowl. Mix well to create a creamy, cheesy mixture.
  2. Add Seasonings: Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the chicken mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined for a flavorful filling.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture evenly in the center of the tortilla.
  4. Add Optional Toppings: Top the chicken mixture with baby spinach or lettuce and diced tomatoes if using, for a fresh crunch and vibrant flavor.
  5. Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  7. Cook the Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
  8. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet. Slice each wrap in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Adjust garlic and spices according to your preference.
  • For a crispy exterior, press the wrap gently while cooking.
  • Serve with salsa, ranch, or a spicy dipping sauce for added flavor.
