Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Ingredients (With US Cup Measurements)
Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up 4 hearty servings of Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps:
2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (Rotisserie chicken works beautifully here.) ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (Adds rich creaminess and helps hold the filling together.) ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (For sharp, bold flavor.) ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (For that perfect melty stretch.) 1 tsp minced garlic (about 2 cloves) (Adds that robust garlic punch.) ¼ cup sour cream (Gives the filling a tangy, creamy base.) 1 tsp garlic powder (Reinforces that garlicky flavor.) 1 tsp Italian seasoning (A mix of herbs that brings out the best in the chicken and cheese.) Salt and black pepper, to taste (Because seasoning matters.) 4 large flour tortillas (Go for burrito-sized if you want a big wrap.) 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for grilling) (Butter gives a richer taste; oil is a lighter option.) Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions (Adds color and a fresh finish.)
Step-by-Step Directions
Let’s break the cooking process down into simple, efficient steps so you can get delicious wraps on the table with minimal fuss.
Step 1: Create the Creamy Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
¼ cup cream cheese (softened) ¼ cup sour cream 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Mix everything thoroughly until the texture is smooth. This blend is the flavor-packed foundation that makes these wraps irresistibly creamy and savory.
Step 2: Mix in the Chicken and Cheeses
Now, fold in:
2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded) ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Stir until the chicken is fully coated and the cheeses are evenly distributed. Add salt and black pepper to taste. You’ll want the mixture to be well-seasoned, but not overly salty.
Step 3: Fill Your Tortillas
Lay out your 4 flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place about ½ cup of the filling in the center of each one. Spread the mixture slightly into an oblong shape for easier wrapping.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
To fold:
Fold the sides in toward the center. Roll the tortilla up from the bottom until you have a snug wrap.
Make sure the seams are tucked in well so the cheese doesn’t escape during cooking.
Step 5: Grill to Golden Perfection
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter over medium heat. Once hot:
Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the outside is golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to get even browning and help melt the cheese inside.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once grilled, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for about a minute. Slice each in half diagonally and, if desired, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.
Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
