Ingredients for Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Here’s what you’ll need to make these mouthwatering wraps:
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced) – This is perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken.
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese – Feel free to mix cheeses if you want a blend of flavors.

- 4 large tortillas – Choose your favorite kind of wrap: flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free.
- Salt and pepper (to taste) – For seasoning the chicken to perfection.

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need:

- A grill pan or another skillet to toast the wraps until golden and crispy.
How to Make Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Sauté the Garlic Chicken
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until it’s fragrant but not browned. Add the shredded or diced chicken into the skillet and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, making sure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it heat through for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 2: Mix the Cheese Filling
In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.
Step 3: Combine the Chicken and Cheese Mixtures
Remove the garlic chicken from the heat and transfer it into the bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir until the chicken is fully coated and everything is combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
Step 5: Fold and Toast
Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly into wraps. Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat and cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side. You’ll know they’re done when the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
If desired, garnish your wraps with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm, and enjoy every cheesy, garlicky bite!
