how to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

1. Season the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well so each piece is coated.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook 6–8 minutes. Stir now and then until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool a little.
3. Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce on each one.
4. Divide the cooked chicken over the tortillas. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella.
5. Fold each tortilla into a wrap. Heat the pan again and grill each wrap 2–3 minutes per side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden and crisp.
6. Cut in half, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Ingredients :

• 2 large chicken breasts, diced
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions :

• In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Spread a layer of creamy garlic sauce over each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken on top of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
• Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating a wrap. In the same non-stick pan, grill the folded wraps for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
• Remove from the pan and cut each wrap in half. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

how to serve Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Serve the wraps hot so the cheese stays melty. Cut each wrap in half and place on a plate with a small salad or potato side. For a garlic‑heavy combo, pair with roasted potatoes or try a side like garlic-parmesan crockpot potatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon or extra sauce if you like more tang.

how to store Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

• Short term: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the tortilla crisp.
• Freezing: Wrap each cooled wrap in foil and place in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in a low oven until hot.
• Note: The sauce and tortilla can get soft in the fridge. Reheat well to restore texture.

tips to make Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

• Dice chicken evenly so it cooks the same time.
• Use a hot pan for a quick sear and golden color.
• Don’t overfill the tortilla. Too much filling can make folding hard.
• If you like extra crisp, brush the outside of the tortilla with a little oil before grilling.
• Use fresh parsley at the end for a bright touch.

variation (if any)

• Swap cheddar and mozzarella for pepper jack and Monterey Jack for a spicy twist.
• Use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or sliced onions for more texture.
• Try whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different flavor.

FAQs

Q: Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
A: Yes. Use shredded rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken. Warm it in the pan with the spices before filling.

Q: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Yes. Replace chicken with sautéed mushrooms, tofu, or beans and follow the same steps.

Q: What sauce works best?
A: Creamy garlic sauce is great. You can swap ranch, Caesar, or a spicy mayo for a different taste.

Q: Can I bake the wraps instead of grilling?
A: Yes. Place wrapped tortillas on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden.

Q: How do I keep the tortillas from falling apart?
A: Don’t overfill and press seams when folding. Grill seam-side down first to seal.
