Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps

Make these quick and easy Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps! Filled with chicken, cream cheese, cheddar, and garlic, then grilled until golden and melty.

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted (Recipe calls for melting, likely meant 2 tbsp butter, melted in the pan)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 large tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish, optional

(Note: I’ll interpret the butter instruction as melting 2 tbsp total in the pan as needed, not starting with already melted butter.)

These quantities make 4 large wraps.

Have chicken cooked and shredded/diced before starting assembly.

Instructions

Let’s assemble and cook these cheesy wraps:

1. Sauté Garlic:

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

2. Heat and Season Chicken:

  • Add the cooked, shredded or diced chicken to the skillet with the garlic butter.
  • Season the chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and heat it through for a minute or two.

3. Prepare Cheese Mixture:

  • While the chicken heats (or in a separate step), combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half (about 3/4 cup) of the shredded mozzarella/cheddar cheese in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine Chicken and Cheese:

  • Remove the skillet containing the chicken from the heat.
  • Add the seasoned chicken (along with the garlic/butter from the pan) to the cream cheese mixture in the bowl. Stir until the chicken is fully coated and combined with the cheese mixture.

5. Assemble Wraps:

  • Lay out the large tortillas flat.
  • Divide the cheesy chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it slightly off-center on each one.
  • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese (the other 3/4 cup) over the chicken mixture on each tortilla.
  • Fold the short sides of each tortilla inwards over the filling, then tightly roll the tortilla up from the bottom to form a secure wrap (like a burrito).

6. Cook the Wraps:

  • Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat (no extra oil is usually needed, but a light spray can help prevent sticking if desired).
  • Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is fully melted and gooey. You might need to cook in batches depending on pan size.
  • Press down gently with a spatula while cooking to help seal the wraps and ensure even browning.

7. Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish the cooked wraps with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
  • Cut the wraps in half diagonally (optional) and serve immediately while warm and cheesy.
