Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup creamy garlic sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Season and Cook the Chicken

First, mix the diced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chicken should be cooked through and tender, with a savory aroma filling your kitchen.

Assemble Your Wraps

Next, lay out your flour tortillas. Spread a generous spoonful of creamy garlic sauce on each. Then, layer the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar, and mozzarella. The mix of cheeses gives these wraps that irresistible gooey texture we love.

Toast to Crispy Perfection

Fold each tortilla tightly to keep all that goodness inside. Then, return them to the skillet. Toast the wraps for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. As a result, the cheese will melt beautifully and the outside will have that perfect crunch.

Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Avoid overfilling the wraps so they hold together
  • Fold tightly to keep everything inside
  • Use a grill pan for a smoky finish
  • Marinate chicken longer for extra flavor

Variations and Substitutions

You can easily change things up:

  • Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack
  • Add veggies like sautéed bell peppers or spinach
  • Use dairy-free cheese and sauce for a dairy-free option
  • Substitute gluten-free tortillas if needed

Perfect Pairings

Serve these wraps with a simple salad, fries, or a warm bowl of soup. Also, skillet Mexican street corn as a perfect side adds even more flavor to your plate. A little extra garlic sauce on the side makes a delicious dip.

FAQs About Cheesy Chicken Garlic Wraps

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can cook the chicken ahead and refrigerate. Then, when ready, assemble and toast the wraps fresh so they stay crispy.

What’s the best way to reheat them?

To keep them crisp, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side. Avoid microwaving, as that makes the tortillas soggy.

How do I prevent the wraps from falling apart?

Avoid overstuffing and fold tightly. Toasting them helps seal everything inside so they hold up beautifully.
