Ingredients You’ll Need

To make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps, you’ll need the following ingredients:

2 large flour tortillas (or low-carb, depending on your preference)
7 oz cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp light mayonnaise
1 tbsp light Greek yogurt
2 tsp hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s)
¼ tsp salt
3 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 green onion (chopped)
Olive oil spray for frying

Sautéed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach)
Extra cheese varieties (e.g., mozzarella, pepper jack)
Dipping sauces (e.g., ranch, garlic aioli)

How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Making these wraps is quick and easy. Follow these simple steps to create a meal everyone will love.

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded or chopped chicken with the minced garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, and salt. Mix everything until well combined. You should end up with a creamy, flavorful chicken filling that’s packed with garlic goodness.

Assemble the Wrap

Place your tortilla flat on a clean surface. Begin by sprinkling a little shredded cheddar cheese in the center of the tortilla, then top it with the chicken mixture. Add a bit more cheese and sprinkle chopped green onions for added flavor and crunch.

Roll and Cook

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly, securing the filling inside. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray. Once the pan is hot, place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. You can press down gently with a spatula to ensure an even cook and crispy exterior.

Once cooked, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before cutting them in half to serve. This step also helps the cheese inside settle, making the wraps even more satisfying.

Serving Suggestions

Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are great on their own, but you can easily pair them with a side dish to create a more well-rounded meal. Try serving them with a fresh salad, some roasted vegetables, or even a side of sweet potato fries for added comfort.

If you like a bit of extra flavor, serve them with your favorite dipping sauce. A creamy ranch dressing or tangy garlic aioli complements the richness of the wraps perfectly.

Storage & Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (though they’re so delicious, you might not!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or air fryer to maintain that crisp, golden exterior. Avoid microwaving them, as it will make the wraps soggy.

For longer storage, you can freeze the filling separately. While the assembled wraps may not freeze well, the chicken mixture can be frozen for up to 1 month. Just thaw and reheat before assembling.

Dietary Variations

This recipe is highly customizable, so it’s easy to make substitutions to fit different dietary needs:

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free tortillas and ensure all condiments and hot sauces are gluten-free.
Low-Carb: Opt for low-carb tortillas and reduce or omit the cheese for a lighter version.
Halal: Ensure that the chicken is halal-certified and use halal-certified condiments and hot sauce.

Vegetarian: Swap the chicken for plant-based protein options like tofu or tempeh. You can even add sautéed mushrooms for a savory, meaty texture.

Wrapping It Up

There you have it—a simple, yet incredibly satisfying recipe for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps. With their savory garlic flavor and creamy filling, they’re the perfect meal for any occasion, whether you’re feeding the family or prepping lunch for the week ahead. These wraps are incredibly versatile, allowing for plenty of customization based on your dietary needs and personal preferences.

Give this recipe a try, and I’m sure it’ll become a new favorite in your meal rotation!

FAQ

Can I bake these wraps instead of pan-frying?

Yes, you can! Simply bake them at 400°F for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just assemble and cook the wraps when you’re ready.

What other cheese can I use?

Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack cheese all make excellent substitutes for cheddar and will add their own unique flavors.

Can I freeze the wraps?

While it’s best to freeze the filling separately, you can freeze the chicken mixture for up to 1 month. Just thaw and reheat before assembling the wraps.
