Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this recipe comes together in just a few steps and uses simple ingredients I usually have on hand. The blend of shredded chicken, mozzarella, and a creamy garlic filling is both cozy and indulgent. It’s the kind of wrap that’s perfect on its own, but also goes great with a side salad or fries. Whether I’m feeding the family or just craving something cheesy and warm, this wrap never disappoints.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Tortillas or flatbreads (for wrapping)
Butter or oil (for toasting wraps)

Directions

In a mixing bowl, I combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, and shredded mozzarella.
I mix everything until well combined and creamy.
I place a generous scoop of the mixture into the center of each tortilla and wrap it tightly like a burrito.
I heat a skillet over medium heat and brush it with a little butter or oil.
I place the wraps seam-side down and toast until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Once toasted, I remove them from the pan, slice in half, and serve warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 wraps.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Variations

I sometimes swap the mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack for a sharper taste.
For added crunch, I toss in some finely chopped bell peppers or red onions.
If I’m craving spice, a little hot sauce or chili flakes in the filling works wonders.
I can also turn these into open-faced melts by skipping the wrap and using flatbread as a base, then broiling until bubbly.

Storage/Reheating

To store leftovers, I wrap each cooled wrap in foil or plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, I freeze them individually wrapped and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.

When I want to reheat, I place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy again, about 5–7 minutes. If I’m in a hurry, the microwave works too, though the wrap won’t be as crispy.

FAQs

How do I make these wraps less rich?

I lighten them up by using low-fat cream cheese and sour cream, or even plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. When ready to eat, I just fill and toast the wraps fresh.

What kind of chicken works best?

I like using rotisserie chicken for convenience, but any cooked and shredded chicken (boiled, grilled, or baked) will work well.

Can I bake these instead of pan-toasting?

Absolutely. I place the wrapped tortillas on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–15 minutes or until golden and heated through.

What can I serve with these wraps?

These pair well with a green salad, coleslaw, or even some roasted veggies. For a more indulgent meal, I serve them with fries or potato wedges.

Conclusion

These Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are a delicious way to enjoy a creamy, flavorful chicken filling inside a crispy tortilla. I love how simple they are to make and how easily they satisfy a cheesy craving. Whether I serve them for lunch, dinner, or even a snack, they’re always a hit.
