Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps Recipe

I love quick meals that feel indulgent, and these Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps are my go-to for busy weeknights. The first time I made them, I had leftover chicken and some cheese in the fridge, and I just whipped this up. The creamy, garlicky filling paired with warm, crispy tortillas instantly became a family favorite.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded – I love using leftover rotisserie chicken for extra flavor.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened – helps create that creamy, gooey texture.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese – fresh-shredded melts better than pre-packaged.
  • 1 tsp minced garlic – the star flavor don’t skimp!
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder – adds depth without overpowering the garlic.
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper – balances the richness of the cheese.
  • 4 large tortillas – flour tortillas work best for pliability and toasting.
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional – adds a pop of color and freshness.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter for toasting – ensures a golden, crispy wrap.

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and parsley if using. Mix until everything is evenly coated and creamy, making sure each bite is flavorful.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of filling in the center. Leave some space around the edges, fold in the sides, and roll it tightly into a wrap to prevent the filling from spilling out.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down, toast for 2-3 minutes until golden, then flip and toast the other side for another 2 minutes for a perfect crispy finish.
  4. Slice the wraps in half and serve warm. I like pairing them with a simple salad or a side of dipping sauce for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • I always shred my own cheese to get that perfect gooey texture.
  • Don’t overfill the wraps; it makes rolling and toasting easier.
  • Adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach gives it an extra flavor boost.
  • Using leftover chicken saves time and adds more flavor from rotisserie seasoning.
  • I sometimes add a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle spicy kick that elevates the dish.
